What's your favorite chewable vitamin?



Recommended Posts

I need to get a Multivitamin and Calcium Vitamin that is chewable/suckable.

What's your favorite brand? I've tasted the fusion brand and I can barely take it down.

Surgery is 2 weeks from today!

I like BariMelts...they dissolve pretty quickly and the flavors (fruit something or other) aren't bad at all.

I agree BariMelts are edible

I have liquid Calcium from bluebonnet and the Bariatric Advantage chews. I agree with surfer girl those chewables are not bad.

The Bariatric Advantage chewable calcium tablet is gross awful. I don't think I can bring myself to finish bottle.

I wish I could find a good multi in liquid-- is that even possible? Or a b50 chewable that was not sickeningly sweet or was liquid. I have capsules for that one that I break open and it is awful tasting.

I could not tolerate he chewable Vitamins. They were chalky and nasty! I much rather swallow a pill. If you do this just remember not to take your Calcium pill at the same time as you multivitamin because it needs to absorb separately.

I have the Bariatric Fusion Vitamins, they aren't horrible but they aren't candy! Lol

Chewing 4 a day will be hard.

There are chewable tablets chalky for sure. But some tablets dissolve and not as bad. The Bari advantage chewable calcium that is not bad is the chewy like soft candy not tablet.

Quick question, I just had my surgery on the 28th and in some of my paperwork it says to start taking my Vitamins now and I read elsewhere to wait. Do I take my Vitamins while I'm on the clear liquid diet? I'm nervous to try to swallow something that isn't liquid.

My doctor said to start taking the vitamins as soon as I get home. But he said chewable/suckable only- no swallowing pills.

Yeah, I have the chewy ones that I bought from Walmart. I wasn't too worried originally but after seeing people post on here I'm nervous that they won't be good enough. They are a decent brand I thought, but I'm not sure if maybe I should seek better ones from GNC maybe? Any suggestions? And thank you for your reply.

I got my Vitamins and Calcium supplements before surgery to make sure they were ok. I was advised to start taking them when I was discharged from the hospital.

Not my favorite but cheap and effective- Flintstones with Iron in the purple bottle. Don't take gummies. Less expensive than the Bariatric versions: calcium citrate from Rainbow Light.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
