Vitamins

Celebrate chewables made me nauseated to the nth degree, I had to crush and put in Peanut Butter just to comply.

I now take Centrum 50+ for women 2x/day, B1, D3, B12, and Rainbow light calcium citrate 3x/day, Triple Calm magnesium (leg cramp miracle). Biotin, folic acid - for hair regrowth. Annoyingly too many pills lol

I just purchased vitamin patches for your skin from PatchMD here on BariatricPal. I am not looking forwarding to constantly taking pills or chews. I bought a Multivitamin, B12, and Calcium. I will report back on how easy they are to use, if they're annoying, etc. I'm going to give it a month's worth and see what happens.

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)

My bariatric surgery program teaches that solid, chewable, or liquid vitamins are all fine, but that patients should not use Vitamin gummies. I don't know the reasoning, but that was mentioned in the online recorded class I attended yesterday.

Good gosh! So sorry to hear that! I'm ok as long as I have them after a meal. Can't do on an empty tummy. It's so wild how different we all are! ((hugs))
