Any suggestions on Vitamins?

[StacieS 0]

Hello Everyone! I am having surgery April 18th, I will be meeting with the nutritionist then. I was just wondering if anyone had any Vitamin advice. Right now, I take a Women's One A Day horse pill. But I know I won't be able to get that down after surgery. I've been looking at several different powder vitamin supplements out that you can mix with Water?

Just curious on anyone's experiences or thoughts....

Oh, that's a good idea. For some reason I forget that there is a lot of chewable stuff out there. Thanks! I'll go check that out.

On the advice of my dietician, I take two children's chewable a day.....just the Sam's Club brand.

I do a sublingual B complex and a shot of Vitamin e oil, too.....

I have been taking Centrum liquid with a monthly B12 shot. My Dr also suggested I get some extra Calcium, so I might try those Viactiv chewables.< /p>

I bought the Centrum liquid and could not gag it down. I totally don't suggest any for of liquid multivitamin! I couldn't even disguise the taste of it in oj or a protien shake I had to throw away the whole bottle witch was about $9. Now I take sam's club gummie Vitamins. I got sick of the chewable taste. The gummy vitamins are so good it is like eating Gummy bears. You will have to take 2-4 of the to get the right amount for an adult serving, just read the bottle though.

I used the Centrum liquid for the first month and I got used to it. It was just fine.

I take Centrum chewable Vitamins now.

I take a Viactic Multivitamin and a Calcium. They are my chocolate treat every day and I don't have to feel guilty about it.:tt1:

Hi everyone. I use Centrum chewables, but frankly, find it difficult to get them down sometimes. As for Calcium, I used to do the Viactiv calcium chews, but my nutritionist told me that's not the right kind of calcium. It has calcium carbonate and we apparently do better with calcium citrate. So, I switched to Citracal Creamy Bites, but am now having a hard time finding them. My new nutritionist agrees with the calcium citrate and has recommended Citracal Petites. Haven't looked for them yet cuz I'm still enjoying my wonderful bit of caramel twice a day.

You should check with your nutritionist about the type of calcium and make sure you're getting the right one.

My doctor recommended 2 chewable Flintstones. They are a "sweet" treat. I haven't had any trouble with them. However, I like the idea of checking with a nutritionist. Good point about the Calcium.< /p>

As per my doctor/nutritionist I take a Trader Joe's chewable Multi (they're not bad tasting), 2 GNC chewable Calcium (chalky, but tasty) and a B12 sublingual....

I started out on 2 Flinstones a day. Just changed to 1 Centrum chewable a day. They don't taste bad at all, of course I've only been taking them a few days, I might not feel that way when I get to the bottom of the bottle. I also added a Viactiv (I bought the target brand) for Calcium. Thanks for the info stefgray on the different calcium types. I had no idea. Thats why I love this place!!
