Anyone find a good complete multivitamin



Recommended Posts

Hi has anyone had luck finding a good complete Multivitamin? I’ve tried a few different brands and haven’t found one I liked. The ones I’ve tried at either really large tablets (hard to swallow) or taste awful (chewable).

Welcome!

I use the Bariatric Pal one-a-day Vitamins, with 45mg of Iron. It's not the smallest pill I take, but I have no problems swallowing it. I've been using them since I was about 3 months post op.

I take a one-a-day Bariatric Advantage with Iron before bedtime. It is a fairly large green capsule. I know that they also come in a chewable, but I've no experience with them.

I am struggling as well. Most have made me sick. I have to take it at night.

I am 2 months PO and still using BariMelts multivitamin w/iron. It is chewable, the taste is decent. Once I am done with this bottle I will move back to pills.

nothing fancy for me. My nutritionist suggested Shiny Leaf Bariatric multivitamin with 45mg Iron. They are not as expensive as some of the others. i like them. Normal capsule size, not huge, easy to swallow and dissolve quickly after you swallow them. My numbers at my Dr visits have all been in the normal range.

My nutritionist suggested ProCare with 18mg Iron as i am past menstruation. I think they have a ProCare rep that gives them samples and that's why they suggested it? 🤣 I didn't like switching from shiny leaf bariatric Vitamins but i cant find that one with 18mg iron. My bloodwork was always great with shiny leaf so we will see how it is after 3 months of taking ProCare. The Procare are more expensive also which i do not like.

      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.
