Any suggestions on Vitamins?

This spring I started using the Celebrate brand Vitamins. They are specially designed for bariatric surgery patients. The good thing is all of their vitamins and minerals is they come in a chewable form and they are flavored. I have a hard time swallowing large pills. I can buy them on Amazon now which is convenient for me because I live 2 hours from my surgeon's office. I think they are great and much more affordable than some others out there.

What about GNC's Ultra Mega. It's Multivitamins & minerals in a Protein shake. Has anyone heard of it ?

I have. I do 1/2 a serving every morning in some almond milk and then take a 1/2 a serving of chewable or liquid Vitamin with Iron (the ultra mega has no iron) in the evening for my daily Vitamin. I take Upcal D (2 times a day) which is a powdered Calcium that can be mixed in drink, Water, Soup, creamy/mushy foods foods, etc. for my daily Calcium and a sublingual B12 once a week.

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....

Hi Stacie! I had surgery December 11th and for the first 30 days, I took two liquid Vitamins I found that were PERFECT!

That's the one with Iron, I got the single bottle, 30 servings and I'll get you the link to the Advanced B-Complex as well!

And I also got the single bottle, 30 servings as well. After the 30 days, my horse pills went down just fine. It wasn't until my 3rd fill that I started having problems keeping food down. Hope this helps!!! these were the CHEAPEST I found too!

OMG WOW!!! That is AWESOME! I had surgery December 11th, I started at 230 and according to my scale I am 191.3. I feel like I'm stuck, but I just got my third fill and I haven't been able to eat very much at all! I've been living off of Protein Shakes. Any ideas??

I use Vitafusion gummy vitamins, they all taste wonderful... you can order them from costco, but Amazon.com has a wider selection. You can also find some at Target stores.

I am getting ready for band surgery and started taking Vitamins and changing my diet already in preparation.

I am now taking Shaklee LiquidLea Gold liquid vitamins. I read about it on A Great Life

Checked with my doc and he says it is a great choice, has all the right stuff and the taste is not bad. I mix it with a little juice in the morning. I also take a liquid calcuim/mag supplement every day also.
