Vitamins after surgery

[AristoKat721 2]

Do you take chewable vitamins after surgery? What kind?

[SummerTimeGirl 582]

My plan requires chewables for the first 3 months. So far I've been using Flintstone's Complete 2 of them a day. That kind was on the docs recommended list.

I take a regular Multivitamin from costco with no issue. Any reason why they have to be chewable?

chewables until you’re healed, then normal are fine. I take BariatricPal One.

I've taken Centrum Silver (or the generic equivalent) since day 1. I started with the chewables and then switched over to regular tablets when I was about six months out. If you take grocery store or drug store Vitamins, you'll probably have to take two a day to meet the requirements. With some bariatric-specific vitamins (but not all...), you only have to take one (but again - check. With some of those you also have to take two (or more) a day...)

2 Flinstones chewable per day.

I take the BariatricPal Multivitamin ONE Per Day chewable with 45mg Iron. I get the mixed berry flavor and it tastes good. The price is right too - $15.00 for a 30-day supply, or it's even cheaper at $40.00 for a 90-day supply.

I am 44 days post surgery and I still cannot stomach even the smell of the chewable or the melts. I found the vitamin patches in the BariatricPal Store and they have been a lifesaver.

4 Bariatric fusion Multivitamins per day. And then 2 Vitamin D gummies (approved by my surgeon) because I was deficient on labs.

My surgeon recommends the vitamin patches for the first month after surgery then switch to the bariatric chewables.

[PolkSDA 116]

Equate (Wal-Mart generic) Flinstones chewables 2x a day. I've gotten used to them and don't mind them so even 11 months out that's what I'm still taking.

Also 2 calcium chews per day. I absolutely love these:

I take spray Vitamins. I took them in the ordinary way ( pills & capsules ) before surgery, but decided to change as I always needed a lot of Water to get them down🤦‍♀️ I’m very happy I did, I have no problems getting my vitamins into me post surgery now. 😊

Is anyone having trouble stomaching the bariatric fusion Vitamins? They are gross. I feel like post up my taste buds are so sensitive. But I’m a few days out and I can’t bare to chew them. Any advice?

[skyewolfe 92]

I take PatchAid vitamin patches from the bariatricpal website because the chewables and melts were making me throw up
