Multi chewable vitamin



Recommended Posts

chewable Multivitamins stink! So, I thought I was clever when I purchased a bottle of liquid Multivitamin. ...holy moly! I was waaaaaay wrong! I didn't get sick, but I wanted to. The blood rushed to my face and my neck and face got itchy!

I honestly don't want to continue putting things in my mouth that aren't a necessary. ...that's kind of, sort of why I had my surgery in the first place! ;) I ordered the multivitamin transdermal Patches last night and look forward to getting them on Monday. One thing that I don't have to worry about taking that I KNOW is going to make me feel blah!

If you have a target near you I found this new brand called oily and its a woman's complete Gummy and they taste really good. I took them to my NUT and she said they were fine!

Oh geez! Watch out for the Iron supplements! Constipation is such an issue, and iron makes it worse!

Low Iron will make you anemic and it will cause hair loss. By the time you find out, its already too late, so don't ignore your Iron. I know for a fact i can't eat enough in a day to get my iron and other Vitamins in without a supplement.

I've tried a few different chewables.< /p>

Some taste better than others, but none have been objectionable.

FWIW, I could crunch on Flinstones and be content.

I like the Bariatric Support from Twinlab multi Vitamin. Not crazy about the Iron or Calcium though.

Go to Puritan.com I've found a lot of chewables there and they aren't expensive. I got the Calcium tablets that taste like coffee, the fruity Vitamin D and the dissolvable Biotin...other than that I'm taking two Flinstones a day.

@@OutsideMatchInside I also take the BariActiv chewables but cannot stand the Calcium pills AT ALL. Are you able to chew them ok or are you doing anything special with them?

My NUT recommended letting them dissolve in Water and then taking them (and even suggested adding a Crystal Light in with the Water to mask the flavor) but even the thought of that makes me nauseous.

They are huge horse pills! They break up/apart easy. So I just hold them in my mouth and drink Water, and they melt away pretty fast, and I don't taste that much of them. The Iron pills are what annoy me, they are too sweet. The multi is the best of the bunch.

While these pills are annoying, the Bariactiv pills have the lowest calories and carbs of any chewables I have looked at and they are practitioner grade. So even for their annoyance, they are very good quality.

I have tried 3-4 Vitamins as my surgeon and nut says we have to take huge amounts for life. Vitamins are the only thing that has caused vomiting. I just got vitamin patches and so far no problems - I assume they are working. I have shipped back one type, going to try selling a non opened bottle and another I will take back to the store.

So, I just received the call regarding my 6 week labs. All levels are great, so it seems like the multivitamin transdermal patch works as well as they claim!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
