une nouvelle vie 327 Posted April 22, 2015 Some here have said their program specifically told them they were fine. My program had them listed on the "do not use" list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donald0717 21 Posted April 22, 2015 I was told that were ok but I would to need an Iron and possibly Vitamin D supplement to go along with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erp 2,016 Posted April 22, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skc72 138 Posted April 22, 2015 I use the complete with Iron. My NUT had me taking 4 a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted April 22, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edavidson 84 Posted April 22, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edavidson 84 Posted April 22, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JonniRae 2 Posted May 13, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaginCajun 177 Posted May 13, 2015 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. -RC- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
