I haven't had my surgery yet, but I've always used liquid Multivitamins because hard pills make me nauseous. Plus liquid vitamins are easier to digest. I would ask your doctor about them before taking them. Hopefully I can use them after I have my surgery because I don't like pills.

I have to do chewables. I have not been able to find a liquid multi Vitamin or liquid B50. I have liquid B12, D, Calcium.

What liquid multi are you using and where do you find it?

My Dr. suggested I use Centrum multi-Vitamins chewables. They are okay. You can get some chewables on Amazon also for bariatric patients.

For the first several weeks after surgery I used Wellesse liquid multi-vitamins. I did a double dose, one in the morning, one in the evening. Wellesse tasted fine to me but if you don't like the taste, it is okay to dilute it with Water or GS or diet fruit juice. It tastes best if you keep it in the fridge. You can buy it on Amazon as well as in some brick and mortar stores (Target, CVS I think, places like that). They also have liquid Iron and Calcium.< /p>

My labs were great throughout.

After several weeks I switched to Trader Joe's High Potency chewable, since it was so much cheaper. I like these because they are many fewer calories and carbs than bariatric specialty Vitamins (ironically enough) and again, WAY cheaper. My labs have continued to be great.

Is anyone on the Patches or have tried them? I have tried the liquid ones and the smell makes me nauseous.

Thank you, just ordered from Amazon. It says it has complete B Vitamin, I will have to compare with my B50 complex as that is the grossest capsule that i have to open and eat, yuck!

I have ordered the Patches. Should be here today. I asked the doctor's office about it and they said it would be fine, they just haven't recommended them because they weren't aware of them. I think that will be best for me. I hate the thought of vomiting worse than the pain. Ugh!

I bought the Wellesley liquid. It in no way tastes good but it is easier to get down than the Bari melts and the taste lingers less and doesn't stick to tongue like the melts.

So until I can swallow pills again not bad. I will use it as one of my doses and then use up the rest of Vitamins I have.
