What brand bariatric multivitamins do you take?



Recommended Posts

My doc told me save your money and use good old fashion Flintstone multi Vitamins. Taste good and I am a lab tech so I can assure you my labs are great too

I take regular Equate (WalMart) Multivitamins and Calium along with other supplements by either Nature Made or Spring Valley. My surgeon was okay with that and all my work since surgery has been fine. Other supplements consist of D3, Biotin, B12, coq10. Because of my sleeve tummy, I do take all my supplements and medications spread out over about a 1-2 hour timeframe. There's no way I can take all of my morning meds & supplements all at the same time.

I use VitaGene. I did 23&Me years ago so all I did was download and then upload my DNA data, right now I'm just getting the post surgery chewables, then after next month I'll be getting Vitamins designed for me based on my DNA. Pretty cool!

I've never taken a bariatric Multivitamin in my life. I'm 3.5 years post-op. I take Trader Joe's High Potency chewable multi's, which are cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than any bariatric multi and my labwork has always been stellar. Bariatric supply companies with their fake candy Vitamins can step off IMO.

I swap back and forth with Flintstones, Centrum, and the patch multivitamin.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
