icyblufrz88 33 Posted October 2, 2016 What brand of chewable Vitamins and calcium citrate is everyone taking? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Try checking out Bariatric Adavantage, Celebrate, or Bariatric Choice ...I believe they all can send you samples if you want to try them out. I personally am enjoying Bariatric Advantage. Although they do cost a bit, they are worth it. They have a variety of chewables and chewy bites Sent from my LG-H830 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daisee68 2,493 Posted October 2, 2016 I use BariMelts - I get them on Amazon (though they may be available on the BariatricPal Store also). I love them and have been using them since day 1 and have had no issues with any Vitamin tests at 16 months post-op. I also find them a bit less expensive than some. Actually, when I first had surgery, I took the Vitamins that came with my prescription B12 nasal spray (called Nascobal) - the Vitamins were called BariActiv. I had to discontinue my B12 (my counts were way too high plus I lost my job and the cost was very expensive under my various health plans). I was distraught because I loved the BariActiv vitamins but you were able to buy them alone - only with the Nascobal. I went on a search for new vitamins with similar stats and then ran across these BariMelts. They are IDENTICAL - taste, texture and ingredients - to the BariActiv. They must be made by the same people and just sold under a different label. I was thrilled to find them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted October 2, 2016 My calcium citrate is chewable. They are made by bariatric advanctage and they are chews like starburst. strawberry is the best with orange being a close second. I buy the 500mg ones from either Amazon or bariatric pal, whichever is less expensive. I take one in the am and one at night. My Multivitamin is not chewable but it is very small and is a generic brand i buy at walgreens. It is a multivitamin with added D3. I have only had to buy them once because they are buy one get one free and there is one for every day of the year in the bottle. They work great and are cheap and small.

MsSara 2 Posted October 23, 2016 I use Isotonix, which are powder Vitamins which you mix with Water. The nutrient value is amazing. I felt healthier as soon as I started to use them -- and they taste great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
