Yes, your doctor is right, stay away from the gummies, they don't have what we need in them.

I have tried both Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate brands of chewable vitamins. They're good. One was a berry flavor and the other was orange. Can't say I was crazy about the flavor, but I got them down o.k. They have everything we need in them... one is a Multi-Vitamin with Iron and the other is a Calcium with D-3.

Now that I am almost 5 months post op, I have switched over from the chewable to the capsules.

In my program we take flinstone Complete chewables 1, 2 times a day. Viactive with vitD 500mg 1, 2 times a day and not within 2 hours of taking the multi vit/min. B12 sublingual 1 stopper full 2 times a week, Biotin 1, 2 times a day.

I have a 3 month lab draw coming up on the 17th of this month. Hope my labs are good but if not adjustments to Vitamins and supplements can be made. I get 70gms Protein in with shakes every day. 4 oz in my coffee in the morning then 2 shakes throughout the day. 1 of the shakes right before bed to get me through the night. So I start and end the day with protein. I was told I'd be drinking shakes for at least 6 months. Yes I'm sick of them and the pill taking( vits & supplmts) but this is just part of having this surgery. It is a life long commitment. I've not missed an appointment yet either and don't intend to. I want to keep the weight off the rest of my life.

I bought Bariatric Fusion chewable vitamins. Want you to consume 6 a day....they don't taste bad but my taste buds are heightened
