I was just looking through the forum for the answer to this same question ... I currently have the chewable daily multi Vitamin from opurity and it makes me completely nauseous within a few minutes!

Following your post to see what is out there that is recommended!

Best Wishes!

@@bamagurl do you take it with food or on an empty stomach? the opurity multi was *not* my favorite, but I ate them all anyway because they were good quality and expensive. when they were gone I went back to my regular multi. I need to take them with food. so I eat a few bites, take my Vitamin and then eat the rest of my food. the opurity I had to eat in 4 bites throughout the meal. I couldn't take it all at once. too much for me. but my labs were excellent!

I was instructed by Northern California Kaiser to take Centrum Adult chewables, an Iron supplement, a chewable Calcium citrate, a Vitamin D3, B12 sublingual, and B1.

I take Centrum vitamints. They taste like mint candy and are easy to digest. However they don't contain Iron so I also take Slow FE iron supplement and later in the day I take a Viactiv chewable Calcium supplement.

I do take with food, but being 6 weeks out from a Band revision to a Sleeve, the amount of food I am taking them with just isn't providing enough of a buffer. When I was banded I could take them no problem. I never though to take in several bites though ... maybe I will try that tonight. If that doesn't do it, I am definitely going to try something else.

I used the Multivitamin Patches from PatchMD for two months. Then I switched over to the Centrum chewable Multivitamin pills with Iron (orange flavor). I also try to get a variety of fruits and veggies in my diet, so I am not just relying on the supplements.

The orange flavored Centrum chewables do have iron, that's what I take.

My surgeon recommends 2 children's Flinstones chewables with Iron. I plan to switch to those when I finish the Centrum vitamints.

      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.
