There is a Vitamin called bariatric advantage and it is a chewable. You take it 2 times a day and it has all the Vitamins you need except Calcium. So you don't have to take a bunch of pills to get the different Vitamins required because they are all in there. So easy. Just 2 vitamins during the day and 1 Calcium at night.

I used Wellesse liquid multi-vitamins for the first several weeks. I took a double dose, one in the morning, one at night. I eventually switched to Trader Joe's chewable High Potency Multi-Vitamins. For the first several months, 2x/day, then switched to one per day. I've had my labs drawn throughout and they have always been great.

Both Wellesse and Trader Joe's are cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than any bariatric specialty Vitamins, which are, IMO, basically formulated to be fake candy with vitamins added in.

I used Centrum Advantage chewables for the first 6 months. Then I went onto tablets. My bloods have aways been perfect.

I am currently taking Centrum chewables but they recently changed their Iron dosage from 18 to 8 so now I have to buy something else. My bariatrician said the equate Multivitamin and Flintstones chewables are good. As long as they have 100% of Thiamin, Vitamin B12, Iron, folic acid, zinc, and Biotin.

That's what I was thinking about taking. I want something that is going to be easy on my stomach and that doesn't taste bad, or hard to swallow.

      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.
