KarenG. 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Has anyone tried the Celebrate chewable Vitamins? How do they compare in terms of taste to the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myturn0421 0 Posted October 2, 2008 I haven't tried the Bariatric Advantage, but the Celebrate are pretty good. My surgeon prefers the Celebrate Vitamins. They gave us a sample of the Multivitamin and the Calcium at my pre-op visit, and they were both good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PATCHELTON 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Haven't heard of Celebrate. My dietician recommends Bariatric Advantage or Pioneer. I take Centrum chewable (they come in silver too) and for Calcium I use Twin Labs calcium citrate with Magnesium and D (citrate absorbs better than carbonate, and D3 or cholecalciferol is the best form of D to take), available at $7.67 for 60 wafers (4 a day dose) plus $4.99 shipping for any size order at vitacost.com. I order about 4 or 5 bottles to squeeze the shipping cost. I paid $17.99 for it in a Healthy Options store, so I thought it was Christmas when I found this online site. My dietician poo-poo's Centrum but my followup bloodwork showed no deficiencies, and it is less expensive than some. I got it at Target for about $12 for 60 (one a day).

flipman416 2 Posted October 22, 2008 So many different brands of Vitamins. I know taste is a huge factor. But I saw a comparison sheets of price and nutritional value that was emailed to me. Take a look and judge for yourself. its from Bariatric Advantage, building blocks, Celebrate its a comparison sheets of all of them. Its always smart that we all do our research. Im new here and since havent posted quite a bit just wanted to share. Ill try to post it Im having Issues right now. but if you want I can email it to you.

aubrie 6 Posted October 22, 2008 I have Bariatric Advantage watermelon chewables. DISGUSTING!!! I gag and get goose pimples every time I chew one. I hate to throw them away as they were expensive, but of course I had to go and buy the large bottle...... Damn....... My doctor gave them the stamp of approval, and they ARE a good Vitamin, but I can't get past the chalky taste. I'll do a Flintstones vitamin any day..... Haven't tried Centrum. They are next on my list if I EVER finish the Bariatric Advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just heard horror stories from flintstones and centrums on how some patients tend to have defficiencies since it was not made for the bariatric patient.
