Gummy Vitamins?



Recommended Posts

I am all of a sudden disgusted by the soft chews that I got at Celebrate Vitamins. Are there any gummies out there with similar composition?

I would stay away from gummy vitamins, and just take regular Vitamins. They just contain too much sugar, and don't have enough vitamins and minerals to make them worth it.

I can't stand chewable vitamins either. I had to throw all of mine away as soon as I could swallow regular vitamins (one week out). It felt like I was chewing on two or three Tums a few times per day.

There are some good bariatric vitamins out there though. Look for the 100%s. I overlook any Vitamin that doesn't have a lot of them.

Ugh. I've been looking for an hour and can't find anything that fits what I am supposed to take without being huge or multiple per day. I found one that is a one capsule/day but the % were SO high, it didn't seem safe. One of the Vitamins was 17,000% . Yikes. I really liked the idea of 1 per day though.

Any brand name suggestions? I'm totally fine swallowing capsules at 4 weeks out.

I take the vita fusion woman’s Multivitamin metabolism and bone support gummies. I love them. They are high in Iron B12 b6 and folic acid. I supplement with a Calcium + Vitamin D chewable as well.

I would take the Vitafusion Multivitamins. They taste kinda like fruit Snacks and the same consistency. Now I just swallow a multivitamin and do Gummy Calcium (also Vitafusion).

      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.
