I wanted to do the Patches, but they're not FDA approved. And Tespo? I've been on this site for a minute, and I haven't heard good things about it. They're both so expensive!

Are any Vitamins FDA approved? As far as I know (AFAIK), the only vitamins that are FDA approved are the ones that require a prescription for dispensation.

My NUT also said this except for the Multivitamin, because the Gummy version does not contain Iron.

I assume it's the Kirkland brand of Multi gummies?

If so, this is what I mean by not very complete. Check out these vs. the ones I posted above.

No, the FDA does not regulate supplements.

Thank you!! I can't wait till I can swallow pills again but I think I'm long away from that.

When you can swallow....these are the ones that I take. Just one pill a day. Then I take 3 calcium chews with Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I love these one-a-day's and they are fairly cheap for Bariatric Vitamins. You can order them on Amazon for $45.99 for a 90 day supply.

gummies are usually discouraged because we don't have enough stomach acid to break them down after surgery. Just an FYI.

Do you have any problems with Vitamins making you nauseous Ash?

I'd love to switch to one a day, but nausea sucks!

None with these whatsoever. I take it before bed, which is recommended to do with prenatal Vitamins as well, because they can cause nausea.

I couldn’t take any Vitamins - everything made me throw up. A doctor at work recommended these two liquid Multivitamins to me and I can take them with no problem. I buy both the morning and night formulations and I buy them on subscribe and save so I save like $7/bottle. I also take half doses so each bottle lasts me two months instead of one, as the same doctor recommended. They’re delicious and don’t have any artificial sweeteners in them. I don’t get sick to my stomach and I can take them with or without food or drink.

did your NUT actually suggest a "gummy" because most WLS patients can't break down gummies due to a lack of stomach acid?

Yes she did, she actually told me my stomach would break down the Gummy better than taking regular pill Vitamins. I've had no problems with the gummies and my vitamins levels are great.

My sisters NUT also recommended gummies to her and we had different surgeons and NUT. She had surgery 4 years ago.
