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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
