Gummy vitamins!?



Recommended Posts

Anyone take Gummy Fiber or Vitamins? Anyone have issues with them upsetting your new tummies? I'm taking the melting type now but I miss my fiber gummies!?? I'm almost at week 3 obviously I'll wait till week 4 to even think about trying them but was curious if anyone else takes them!?

I'm curious as to this as well. I have a chewable Multivitamin and am on my 3rd one, all make me gag. I used to do a Gummy multivitamin and would really like to use that again, but don't want to hurt my sleeve. Anyone had success/failure with gummies? I do a dissolvable Biotin that is delicious, wish my multi could taste like that.

I am one year post op and I have taken gummy vitamins since week three. I just chew them really well. I also take Vitamin b liquid twice a week and Biotin. I have never had any problems with them and my labwork has been normal this entire time.

I take Gummy B12. I'm 4 weeks out. Sometimes I take a gummy multi-Vitamin but usually I use Flinstones Complete chewables.< /p>

I was told to take a chewable multi vit for my first month post surgery. I couldn't find a normal chewables ANYWHERE. I was just discussing this with my dietician yesterday and she said they are hard to find. I told her I was taking a Gummy cause that's pretty much the market for chewables these days. She said that was fine. I chew them up really well and I haven't had any problems; I am 2.5 weeks out. At one month I will stop with those though and switch to my bariatric multi vit as instructed.

My dr and dietician both said most gummies are missing Iron and are too low on a few other key nutrients and sure enough mine that I love were missing iron so that is why they recommend two flintstone completes a day.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
