your favorite chewable vitamin...

[flipman416 2]

I'm telling you - the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins taste horrific! I have challenged my bariatric nutritionist to investigate chewable vitamins. Concerning the sugar issue, surely the amount in one Vitamin is somewhat negligible. Do any of you crush a regular Vitamin and eat it with pudding/yogurt?

Please understand that everyone that undergoes any form of weight loss surgery their taste buds change as other love the Vitamins and others do not. But there are different flavors that you can choose from and from what I know if you ask for some samples they will give them out free of charge before committing to a larger bottle. Hope this helps at all

Is it wrong that I am not taking a chewable Vitamin but swallowing a daily Multi-Vitamin in pill form?? I was taking chewable vitamins (Centrum) after surgery for a few months, but then I switched to the pill form. My doc didn't seem to think it was a problem. Should I not be able to swallow a pill? It's not a small pill either.. I'm thinking it's time for a fill!:smile2:

I like WalMart's brand (Equate) Childrens chewable Vitimans. They are inexpensive and not too big, so the taste is not bad at all.

Another vote for Flinstones chewable vitamins. I take two everyday.

I am taking Flintstones now, they have a new Improved Taste one that just came out, Purple is my favorite so far. I have take Centrum Orange and they are too grose! M Doc said to take the Flintstones and that alot of her patients take the Cosco brand called Kirklands and they they are small enough to swallow but I have not seen any that I thought would be small enough. I only take 1 Flintstone because the bottle says one for adults. They have a big bottle at Cosco of the Flitstones that is a good deal.

Centrum Silver. Regular Centrum is too orange-y. :rolleyes2:

I take Centrum Silver chewables Citrus berry Flavored for adults 50+. They're not bad tasting at all.

Well, I was doing Flinstones, but the aftertaste was killing me!! So, I bought the Centrum orange ones... they taste nasty (just like the flinstones, LOL) but at least they don't seem to have that aftertaste... I feel like I have Vitamin in my teeth for hours with the flinstones... blech!

I saw that the Bariatric Advantage folks have sampler packs for about $6 specifically for weight loss surgery patients. That might be worth checking into.

Arent the flintstones ones for kids??

Children under 4 are recommended to take 1/2 a day and adults take a whole one :thumbup: I also take the flinstone ones, but it's hard to fight them away from my hubby...lol

I was eating the Centrum chewables in addition to a chewable vit C and chewable Calcium. I was choking them down and then I noticed (maybe pretended not to) that I had stopped taking them for almost 2 months.:laugh:

I now take the adult gummy vitamins (also purchased from target) and alternate them with the viactiv Multivitamin chews, I also take a viactiv calcium chew.

I'm with little froggy - I know I take in more sugar than I should but I have gone 3 weeks and maybe only missed 1 day a week. They actually taste really good and I pack a little container with them every day and wait to take them until that first time I start to feel hungry and make sure I chew them well - haven't had a problem yet.

I forgot one thing - wish I could find an alternate way to get echinaccea (I swear by it during cold season - I'll take it 3 x day if I'm sick or around people who are sick and I rarely get sick or if I do it's short term)

Anybody heard of a chewable or other high dose form of echinaccea?

I was using the Flintstones chewables but now changed to Bariactric fusion. Viatamins, Calcium and B12 all in one pill. Your choice of orange or berry

Check this place out they have a few there: Chewable Echinacea King Raspberry
