What kind of Vitamins do you take in respect to Lap-Band?

I am a firm believer in Vitamins...but have to be honest I don't know very much about them...lol..I'm a "Woman's one a day" girl.

And suggestions on what you take to stay healthy?

Sylver - My Dr. recommended "Vitaband" Vitamins. I ordered them online from "Bariatric Advantage." I am currently taking the Watermelon flavored ones, but be forewarned, they have a tree bark aftertaste. I'm also taking a Calcium chew in addition to these vitamins.

Hope this helps!

I found these great adult Gummy Vitamins at Target. Taste good and easy to take. Plus I take the calcium chews.

I was taking liquid Centrum, but it can have an awful aftertaste as well. I'm happy with the gummy vitamins. I saw an ad for them in my SHAPE magazine.

Centrum makes a good chewable, but they can be expensive. I was shocked when my surgeon recommended Flintstones chewables!! I thought, "He has to be kidding". He wasn't. I compared their nutrition with other Vitamins, and they are right up there with the more popular varieties. They are a lot less expensive, and seem to taste a little better. I tried the Bariatric Advantage Watermelon and they were HORRID!!! I still have half a bottle in my bathroom that I couldn't gag down one more day..... LOL

Doc recommended calcium citrate as well, and I found a petite size that is easy to swallow. It hasn't bothered my band yet.

I had my blood work done 6 months out, and 12 months out, and it was perfect, so I guess it's all working.

Suzanne, do the adult guumy's have a label name or are they Target brand? They sound interesting.

I take the Flintstones too. I had to laugh when my diet nurse told me to take them. I also take calcium citrate. She told me any chewable vit but recommended Flintstones.
