Gummy multivitamin?



Recommended Posts

I tried three different Multivitamins, one capsule and two tablets. I keep vomiting. I figured out that I need to take Iron by itself because the slow-release version doesn’t make me sick. So I need an iron-free Multivitamin. Surgeon suggested gummies.

When I checked the labels of gummies, they all contain added sugars (2-3 grams). The nutritionist said no added sugars, though.

Does anyone take a gummies multivitamin, with no added sugar, and no iron?

If so, what brand, and how does it taste? Thanks!

My surgeon recommended Flintstones Complete. Had surgery on March 1, 2021 and so far no issues. I was also told no gummies.

I was also told no gummies.

Centrum Silver (and the generic equivalents) don't contain Iron.

I was told absolutely no gummies as well. I take the ProCare Bariatric chewable formula with Iron. It's never upset my stomach. However a friend had an issue with the iron in it upsetting her stomach so she started taking it at night before bed. It worked for her.

I was told no gummies as well. Your clinic may have samples. Bariatric Advantage had sample packs I received one at the nutritionist appointment but the clinic recommended them as well. Now that I think of it I believe the sample was a chewable that contained Iron though. It was the calcium citrate chew, the multivitamin chewable and something else (it may have been the one without iron I can’t recall). But most importantly, double check that you didn’t misunderstand the gummies suggestion.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
