I get my Vitamins at costco. Inexpensive and good quality. Advice that I've been given at my monthly meetings, don't go into a Vitamin shop and ask for vitamins for post bariatric surgery. They will sell you hundreds of dollars of vitamins you don't need. You will need to take a multi vitamin, calcium citrate not carbonate (the body doesn't absorb it as well) a B12 sublingual pill.

I would look for "compare to..." brands
Also buy from somewhere with an easy return policy...
I like Sam's club member Mark multi Vitamin gummies. Tastes like candy and 320 for $10! (comparable to vitafusion)

I got mine from walmart! My nutritionist wants us to take 2 flinstone completes, calcium citrate (which I got a big off brand bottle at Kroger for like 8 bucks), a sublingual B12, Iron (if you're a women and have your period still),and Vitamin D. I got all of mine at either Walmart or Kroger, and the good thing about Kroger is most of the time certain brands are buy one get one free!

From my support groups, the only one I see people actually buying from Bariatric Advantage is the Calcium citrate as chews. They made me nauseous though, so I take mine as pills.

I feel great, I just had blood work done, so I'll know at the end of next week if they're working!

I am not making a plug for Bariatric Vitamins but here goes. For me I thought about what I had just went thru and knowing that I am in this forever. I felt like I should at least buy the Bariatric vitamins. I tried the Flintstones and they were horrible, I tried the chewable Centrum vitamins but man they are so nasty I ouldn't handle them. I have taken Celebrate Capsule for the whole time after trying the ones that made me sick. Another thing about me is I started taking chewable Vitamin C, they tasted so good kind of like a sour candy which I love beyond love anything sweet and tangy. Not good for me when I was woofing them down like candy. lol I buy CELEBRATE at Amazon. I like the fact that they are capsule and if need be you could open them and put them in applesauce or something while you are early out. Just my take on vitamins.

I take flinstone Multivitamins, Alive B-complex gummies, and Bariatric Advantage calcium chews. I don’t care for capsules, so I opt for chewables/gummies. I don’t love the flinstone Multivitamins, but they meet my nutritionist’s standards. Love love love the B-complex and Calcium chews. I tried the Celebrate multivitamins, but they made me vomit almost immediately! They just didn’t work for me. I get everything from Amazon.< /p>

Ok, I tried quite a few. Some made me gak. Some even made me hurl. Some were just so hard to swallow. Sigh.

But here's what I ended up with and I LOVE sparkleheart love them. They are worth the extra bucks--especially since now I eat so very little!

Celebrate 3-in-1 Drink Mix Multi-vit, Calcium, Fiber - Citrus Splash (tastes like Tang) - take 1 per day

Celebrate chewable Vitamin - orange - take 1 per day

Celebrate Watermelon Chewy Bite Calcium - 500mg cal citrate - take 1 per day

Celebrate chocolate Chewy Bite Calcium - 500mg calc citrate- take 1 per day

Celebrate Tangerine Iron + C Chewable - 18mg iron - take 1 per day

Celebrate Wild Cherry sublingual B12 - 1000mg - take 1 every other day

Celebrate Thiamine Capsule 100mg - take 1 per day

vitacost Vitamin D3 Capsule 2000mg - take 1 every 3 days

Ok, that's it. It cost me about $130bucks for about 3-4 months of Vitamins. I think that is do-able, since I spent more on that on crap in 3-4 months and had nothing to show for it. Now I will have a smokin' hot bod and healthy organs and bones and muscles. It's the gift that keeps on givin'!!! And the best vitamins are the ones that are really assimilatable and ones that you will take every day with consistency!!!

      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.
