Which have you tried? I'm using Optisource's chewable bariatric Vitamin. It's orange flavored, a bit chalky, but my bloodwork comes back normal. (I also only take 2 of the recommended 4 you're supposed to have per day)

Yes I have tried the fusion chewable bariatric 💊 as well as a Gummy women multivitamin. I just went to my surgeon and they gave me fusion powder that you mix in Water its a bariatric multivitamin. Its just they are so gritty. But the powder doesnt seem so bad.

They are a necessary evil. You're almost 2 months out. If the texture is what's bothering you, is there any reason you can't take Vitamins in pill/capsule form?

Good luck to you! And be sure to ask your surgeon/nut for suggestions when you see them next! I've heard interesting things about transdermal vitamin patches.

I take a crystalized Multivitamin called Baritrack. If you ever had pixie sticks it is very similar. They come in lemon-lime and orange. They are made locally in NJ but there is a website. You only have to take one packet each day.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
