I started out taking the Centrium multi vitamens but they really upset my stomach. So my Dr told me to try liquid multi and they work so much better!

So if the solid vitamens mess you up try the liquid!

Just my 10 cents! :thumbup:

My doc is not a believer in taking supplements of any kind; proper nutrition through proper eating. HOWEVER, given that sometimes I just know I am not getting enough of the 'good stuff' because I have so little in the way of fruit (not veg), I take a no-name daily Multi-Vitamin.< /p>

I take the Centrum Children's chewable and my daughter and I both agree they are the worst thing we have ever tasted. So, as soon as this bottle is empty, I am going back to Flinstone's Chewables...much better.

I take a liquid Vitamin with minerals called IntraMax. It has over 415 essential nutrients and is naturally rich in carbon, oxygen and fulvic acid. It's expensive, but worth it to me and it's peach/mango flavor and taste really good. One bottle will last you 1 month. Do a google search on IntraMax and most will ship it to you free. If you don't want to take this, the only other vitamin I recommend are Whole food Vitamins.< /p>

I'm taking Walgreen's High Potency A thru Z chewable for adults (it's a generic of Centrum) and two Tums sugar-free for Calcium. I started off with Flintstone's chewables, but this adult formula has a much higher percentage and number of Vitamins and minerals. I also like the taste better.

Im new here so just wanted to share Ok so I have been with Bariatric Advantage now for about 2 years, great company no complaints, but I ran into Celebrate bariatric one day as I was surfing the net, I wanted to do more research as their flavors seem interesting, but here is what I found out, BA has 600 Mg and celebrate has 0 MG of Calcium. I NEED MY CALCIUM, anyways I really love the watermelon flavor and I just found out from one of their reps that they are coming out with a new flavor berry. I LOVE BERRY. Just my 2 cents.

Taking Vitamins especially after surgery should not be taken lightly, and the right vitamins should always be considered. Flintstones, Centrum are good but for the general public. One should always take the vitamins that are made for the bariatric community. Always theres choices out there my most favorite is on this site Bariatric Advantage - Nutritional supplements, Vitamins, Proteins, and Help for Gastric Bypass, Distal, Lap Band, Realize, Stomaphyx and Duodenal Switch Surgery Patients

      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.
