Bariatric Advantage Vitamins



Recommended Posts

I use the kind you swallow by Bariatric Advantage. They're three big horse pills per dose, but I hate chewables. I like them well enough.

My Dr recommended the Bariatric Advantage chewable as it is complete...no additional Vitamins needed. It is four tablets. I like the mixed berry.

I cannot stand the flavor of the Bariatric Advantage chewable multi-vitamins. I'm shopping around for a better flavor. I dread taking them 2x a day. I'm a DS patient, so I have to have them for life. I've got to find something I can live with because Bariatric Advantage makes me shiver/gag when I take them.

I currently use the Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamins, the favor is citrus. I don't have a issue with the taste, plus I only have to take one pill because it has almost all the Vitamins that I need. Prior to using the chewable Vitamin I used the Bariatric Advantage pill that you swallow, that was difficult for me after my surgery.

I have tried all the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins. I prefer the chews. The capsules I had a very hard time getting down and I would find myself skipping them. I tried the chewable tablets - they made me gag. The chews are my choice.

I use Celebrate in capsules. I rtake 2 a day. I was told if they were to bigg I could open them and sprinkle them on some applesauce or yogurt, I never had a probem with them. The capsules go down pretty good. I am 4 years out and have always taken them. I did try the Centrum chewable right after my RNY but I couldn't stand the sweetness. That is when I started taking Celebrate. Good Vitamins.

Before I say this ,I want to preface that you should always check with your doctor before taking anything after bariatric surgery. I bought the BariatricPal chewables and could hardly tolerate swallowing them. Checking in with the surgeon during a regular follow up appointment, I asked if there were any alternatives to these. She said I could substitute Flintsones complete chewable. Not only do are they so much less expensive, they taste okay. Been taking them ever since and it's been over 3 years and labs have always been good.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
