Chew able Vitamins?



Recommended Posts

So just curious what chewable you guys use or do you use a dissolve-able all around Vitamin? I have not had surgery yet but trying to get used to the chewy Vitamins. Which one has the best taste? Aftertaste?

I liked Centrum chewables and had them until month six then went on regular centrum advanced.

I have used the Celebrate brand of multi with Iron (forest berry flavor), chewable tablet. It tastes ok. But now I have switched to the multi capsules (now that I can swallow at 14 weeks post op). I still take the Celebrate brand of Calcium with Vitamin D-3 and the flavor is orange burst. They are okay.... not crazy about the flavor. I also tried the Bariatric Advantage chocolate soft chews, they were real tasty, but I decided they were too high in calories and carbs for me and I switched back to the Celebrate brand for Calcium.

At my pre-op class they gave us a little bag with different Vitamins to try and that's how I made my decision to go with the Celebrate brand. I am sure there are a lot of different ones to choose from.

I was told that we should not do Vitamin gummies as they didn't have the appropriate nutrients for us after bariatric surgery. I think it's important to go with the bariatric Vitamins after surgery, and not just your regular vitamins that you would find at a grocery store.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
