Vitamin Help!

I am 4 weeks post op and i am currently trying to take the Bariatric Fusion Vitamins chewable. I absolutely cant stand the taste (I take 3 throughout the day) and I wondered if anyone had any suggestions about the vitamins they take.

I take 2 children's chewables per day. I buy the BJ's store brand of Flintstones complete. I did try the Centrum chewable but I couldn't stand the taste.

That's a great idea. I have a big bottle of Centrum chewable, but they are awful tasting! I'm gonna try the children's, thanks!

I haven't had the surgery yet, so maybe I get that memo later. :thumbdown:

I use the Viactiv, Multivitamin is milk chocolate and I also use the Calcium which is caramel. I love them. Since I love my chocolate its a great substitution. The only con is that if you don't drink something after about ten minutes you kind of get a weird metallic taste but a sip of anything will get rid of that.

flinstone Vitamins are good for the first few weeks for basic nutrients, but you really do need something that contains a lot more after that. There's a reason that they're for kids. Even One A Days are not that great. You should get basic nutrition from foods you eat and really only need a supplement for things you don't eat regularly. Definitely need all of your B's instead of the 2 or 3 that Flinstones ones have.

My surgery doc said only chewables, but my fill doctor says that swallowing pills is fine. I didn't really believe him, but I tried it out and nothing horrible happened. It just needed a few minutes to dissolve and move into my stomach. If you can swallow pills, I really like Rainbow Light brand, which is pretty cheap on Ebay.

I guess any Vitamin is better than no Vitamins, though. Just relaying what I've been told.
