emilyphoenix74 49 Posted September 2, 2015 After surgery i was taking a HUGE chewable Vitamin i bought from Unjury. I CANT STAND the chaulkyness. It literally made me gag trying to chew it. So i bought a bariatric vitamin called Celebrate . Its working just fine but i have to take 3 pills.< br />Im looking for suggestions on a 1 pill non-chewable bariatric vitamin that provides the requirements of the 100%.......

arex 9 Posted September 2, 2015 Unfortunately, there's no one pill available to satisfy all of a bariatric patient's needs. I have been taking a chewable Multivitamin, two chewable Vitamin C tabs, a chewable B-complex+B12, and three chewable calcium+D per day. I won't lie, it's unpleasant, but it's vital to take them all. Even non-chewable tablets or capsules are still going to be horse pills, especially the Calcium tablets. Calcium is bulky, and doesn't compress well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dream4tc 192 Posted September 2, 2015 I agree with Arex. There currently is not one pill to address all Vitamin needs. However you do have options calcium citrate can be purchase as a chocolate delicious type supplement/treat by Celebrate Vitamins. I belie e they are called Calcet-creamy-bites.html Creamy Bites. Bariatric Advantage also sells calcium citrate yummy bites. I have tried both brands and they are gooooood! B12 and Vit D can both be taken sublingual. Multivitamins will need to be chewable at first but later down the road you will be able to do liquids or even someone posted the other day ..Multivitamins Patches!

atontor 1,068 Posted September 2, 2015 I been using PatchMD and thankfully my body has adsorbed it well. My NUT suggested I cut them in half. I been using the Multivitamin but they have a few more options. Here a discount code They sell for $20 for a 30 day supply. Definitely a lot cheaper than buying multiple Vitamins at the store.

courtr08 0 Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Does the PatchMD cover all the Vitamins that you need to take or just the multivitamin? Just asking because I see it has b12/calcium/iron and a few others that I take separate from my current multivitamin.

I had blood work done and apparently my body is absorbing everything the patch gives me so my PCP & NUT recommended to cut them in half since I was over the limit on a few vitamins. So I'm doing half right now until my next blood work in early November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
