Really try to get all your nutrients from food; however, if you can't a supplement is a great alternative.

I've been on the Flintstones for almost 2 years and have to quit. The taste of them turns my stomach.

Don't know what happened, all of a sudden one day when chewing them- yuck! Even the thought of them makes me sick.

So I'm stopping Vitamins for now.

Good luck. That Alive sounds deadly! :unsure:

I've been able to swallow my regular Multi-Vitamin if I cut it in half, but that may not work for you...

I got the Alive liquid for post op, and that stuff is EVIL! I was able to choke it down for almost 3 weeks, then had to stop...I would dread getting up in the morning just because I knew it was waiting for me! ;-) Really nasty stuff.

Reg. Centrum chewable with Iron (the Silver version has different vits) it's orange flavored and I picked it because people said it tasted the best of the three (gummys, Flinstones). Only need one a day.

Flintstone chewable for me. but you need to take 3 of thema day. you can buy some barctric (sp) chewables and only have to take 1 aday.

I take and LOVE the viaciv Calcium raspberry chews! And the I use different viamins, I use a Gummy sometimes and Centrum chewables, which I also can't stand, and have also had the viaciv Vitamin chews but I don't care for them..I also found some gummy fish oil/omega 3 they are nasty, but I chew them with the centrum it helps them both taste better.

It's all trial and error for me..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
