Are flinstones Vitamins Ok?



Recommended Posts

Some here have said their program specifically told them they were fine. My program had them listed on the "do not use" list.

I was told that were ok but I would to need an Iron and possibly Vitamin D supplement to go along with them.

Depends on which formula. Stay away from all the gummies. Their best formula is the 'complete' chewable tablet. It has Iron and the large bottle is purple.

I use the complete with Iron. My NUT had me taking 4 a day.

I am taking Flintstones with Iron twice a day, not near the time when I take my Calcium. My one year labs were beyond perfect. I also take a B12 and D3. Taking these are the alternative to the bariatric horsepills that I could not tolerate.

I take mega doses of Biotin for my hair and nails and B12 plus a woman's one a day Vitamin. Every

one should take Biotin because if lose really fast like I have done your hair takes a beating. Mine

is finally looking better but some people lose their hair. Ultram sells a vitamin exclusively for

the sleeve surgery.

I posted that the website I use to get my shakes and Vitamins was Ultram, that is a pain reliever.

The correct website is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. So sorry, it has been madness at work. Their Protein powder is the

best that I have used and it is more reasonable than what you buy in the store already mixed.

I have felt so much better since I started taking all of my Vitamins. It took about a month to

really get them in my system. I have new hair growing (yeah). I am 61 years old so maybe I need

more vitamins due to my age. I have to use gummy's or I will throw the vitamins up. I feel like a

new person. I had my surgery four months ago and for the first 3 1/2 months I couldn't eat, I

couldn't go to the bathroom, I threw up all the time. Once my bowels finally woke up and started

working, the nausea went away. I wish only the best of luck and a lot of happy tomorrows for

everyone who are working hard and taking their life back. Thank you to everyone who has helped me

on this website. I could not have made without all of the advise.

Sleeved two years ago. NUT put me on 2 Flintstone Complete with Iron, also Caltrate +D chewable, and B12 quick dissolve. Labs great over past two years years.

My Doc/Nut JUST updated their Vitamin recommendations and included either of Flintstones chewables or Centrum Chewables. They used to say NO to those.

Of course, you have to take other things, with these - D, Calcium Citrate, B-sub, etc. So, contact your NUT and ask what else you should take.

It seems as tho yet again we have another issues of significant variation from Program to Program, Doc to Doc, Nut to Nut.

Always best to follow what YOUR Nut and Program advise.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
