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.

HW: 219

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.

      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.
