What Multi Vitamin best?



Recommended Posts

Hi All

What Multi Vitamin is the best to take? I have tried samples of Bariatric Advantage chewables and Unjury Multi chewable and they taste horrible!!!!!! It was the French vanilla for the BA and mixed berry for the Unjury. Please let me know what you guys have tried and what you like.

Thanks!!!!!

FYI: I take Celebrate chewables and they make me terribly nauseous if I chew them on an empty stomach. Unfortunately, I bought a six month supply!

I started taking Celebrate Multivitamin without Iron, capsule form. They make me incredibly nauseous, food or no food. However, their Iron chews are fantastic.

I'm trying Bariatric Advantage Ultra Multi soon. Hopefully that will be better.

I've been using optisource chewable Vitamins. You only need to take 1 pill 4 times a day. And you get what you need. My NUT said it would be the easiest to manage.

Do you need a chewable? If so, I have no recommendations, since I never had to be on one. I was allowed to start taking my Vitamins in capsule form at 7 days post-op. I have taken these since my surgery in Sept. 2015:

Yes you always have to take chewable multiple Vitamins if you have had RNY. I am 11 years out last year I started taking a multiple Vitamin in tablet form, my hair was falling out. I went to see the bariactric dietician and was told you have to take chewable forever. When I resumed the chewable Vitamin my hair stopped falling out. I take optisource 3-4 a day

This post is in the Gastric Sleeve forums though, so I assume that is not the case for the OP.

I take the BA capsule. I am 3 weeks out and have been taking it for 2 weeks. No taste, just point your face down when you swallow instead of your natural reflex to look up! The capsule floats so you have to drink more if you throw your head back! Take on an empty stomach then eat or drink a shake. 2 in morning, 1 at night!

      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.
