Introversion 1,876 Posted August 20, 2017 Centrum chewables...about $9 for a 3-month supply Flintstones complete (not the gummies)...take 2 per day The best thing is that these can be found over the counter at any Walmart, Target, Walgreens, or supermarket in most cities.

Strivingforbetter 247 Posted August 20, 2017 If you're a DS patient, I don't think the Flintstones Vitamins will be enough. 1 MochaKelly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N0VA 59 Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) I have some of the Bariatric Fusion mixed berry flavored vitamins... they're not terrible. They kind of remind me of the Flinstone's Vitamins. I also have some of the BariMelts calcium/magnesium chewable and they taste ok to me too. Like the orange Flinstone's (I always liked Flinstone's vitamins... maybe I'm weird lol) Edited August 20, 2017 by N0VA 1 Geri Marie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "FLINTSTONE Vitamin taste horrible!! When I went to my New Bariatric Center, which I had been going to my Surgeon's office, anyhow the new Dr. told me to take 2 flintstone Vitamins plus Iron. MAN O MIGHTY those are yucky to say the least. I have used Celebrate mostly every since I had my RNY. I buy the capsules and I was told by my DR if they are to big to swallow you can open them and sprinkle it on whatever you want. But I have not had any problems with swallowing them. I figure that I went thru major surgery and I need the Bariatric vitamins I have seen past WLS peeps (like 30 years ago) who are having bad things going on because they didn't use the vitamins that were needed. I don't want to make any mistakes. It might take years before you notice something is wrong. Make sure to get all of your blood work done. It is so important. Have a great day!! 1 MochaKelly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyhow, since I have a sleeve gastrectomy, I don't have the malabsorptive component that would necessitate use of bariatric Multivitamins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shedo82773 1,236 Posted August 20, 2017 Like you said, Different strokes for different folks!! Because I had the RNY I definitely don't want to take any chances. I don't know which surgery Micky701 is having but I think we covered all bases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ssflbelle 829 Posted August 21, 2017 Was taking several different store bought Vitamins as I couldn't find one Vitamin that had it all until I took the Facebook vitamin challenge. Now I take two chewable watermelon Celebrate Vitamins a day and am so glad I do. Check them out, they have different flavors. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted August 21, 2017 Has anyone tried the Celebrate 3-in-1 multi Vitamin powder? I am considering doing the citrus for the first 3 months after surgery? Opinions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
