DS1 66 Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Personally I order for BariatricPal Store. I received my first order some weeks back and I don't like the chewable ones. I could swallow pills fine after surgery (VSG) but ordered (before surgery) a 60 day supply of the Bariatric Advantage multi, B12, Calcium etc... all chewable or quick melt. Hate the taste. Others don't have a problem with it. Just my opinion. I'm abroad so I couldn't get samples sent to me overseas. Would suggest to order some samples and pick what you like. I didn't think it was a big deal but your going to have to take them daily and after surgery, taste matters. The type of surgery does too as i know some people can't swallow or digest pills after.

My4Brownies 283 Posted May 1, 2017 Good Morning, I take the bariatric multi Vitamin that is on supply at the hospital that I had surgery so it makes it easy for me and its a one a day pill. That is SUPER easy for me because I take it at 5 am before work and no worries through out the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boocilla 17 Posted May 2, 2017 I order these from ProCare it is 30.62 for 2 month supply includes shipping and tax. I have to be honest I haven't tried them yet.. but I know I have to have them. It says for all surgeries including the DS. You will have to take an extra calcium.. get the viactive chews it is like a little treat! I am having the DS on June 5th.

If you send me a PM with your email address, I can send you an attachment which lists all the vitamins/minerals for a new DSer (this document is given to us by my surgical team). After that your supplements are dictated by your blood draws. You can also check out Vitalady's list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
