I went to the Drs today for my post-op check and they gave me samples of these Vitamins. I guess they contain everything necessary in one chewable instead of taking several multiple vitamins, I ordered some when I got home, they tasted good, and I'm sure are more suitable for what I need than the kids chewables I've been taking!

Anyone else tried them?

My Dr. office offered those vitamens and I passed on them. I went with Centrum silver instead just because they are chewable. They are about $11 for 60, I still have to take a Calcium supplement, Iron and B12. However, at my Dr office they said that I would have to take all of those supplements if I was using their bariatric vitamens. I just had my follow up yesterday and all of my levels were great so my the Centrum silver must be working. Good luck with yours.

Bariatric fusion is alright. Check out Bariatric Advantage. I did a side by side comparisons of some of the different Vitamins and Bariatric Advantage has more nutritional value, they also send out samples for free just call em and let them know. Thats how I got my samples. Its a 7 day supply.

Bariatric Advantage - Nutritional supplements, Vitamins, Proteins, and Help for Gastric Bypass, Distal, Lap Band, Realize, Stomaphyx and Duodenal Switch Surgery Patients check them out,

I use Spectravite chewables from CVS. They are cheap, taste good and meet my nutritional needs.

Amazingly enough, my obstetrition said they were also sufficient for prenatal Vitamins as long as I have a folic acid supplement as well . . . so for me they are working as a regular Vitamin, bariatric Vitamin and prenatal vitamin and are still cheap and taste good with none of those icky vitamin burps or queasiness.

      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.
