What Kind of Vitamins do you take?



Recommended Posts

What kind of Vitamins does everyone take? I've been feeling tired, dizzy and just blah the last week or so and when I called the surgeons office, they asked if i was taking the bariatric vitamins. I'm not. I tried them and OMG how nasty tasting they were! I ordered them online and paid quiet a bit for them but they were just awful. Now I'm taking the VitaCraves. I also take my Calcium pills everyday. Anyway, does everybody take the bariatric vitamins? Thanks for your help!

I actually just started taking Vitafusion. They are gummies in the adult Vitamin area. They come in Calcium, Multivitamin, Vitamin C & D, and Omega 3. There are others but they weren't at my target. I enjoy them and they are a little bit of a treat when I take them.

chewable from Trader Joe's (women's multivitamin), but 2, not 1.

Also, my nutrionist wants me to take Wellesse liquid Calcium. Need to order it online.

I take the flintstone complete Vitamins, the majority of the values have 100% for adults so they work just fine for me. My BFF takes them too and she hasn't even had WLS.

I am taking the Bariatric Advantage chewables...I'm 2 months postop and am completely done with them!! I decided next time I go to the store I'm going to get a different kind because they are just gross to me now. Thankfully, I don't have any problems swallowing big horse pills despite having great restriction. But I may get the Flinstones because, let's be honest, they taste great lol

My only concern is that my nutritionist told me about research she did that showed that the bariatric advantage had a 70% absorption rate. She said compared to some of the other ones, like Centrum, their absoprtion rates were only around 40%.

I take the Flintstone chewables. Mainly, because my kids take those too, so we just buy a big bottle. I would be more concerned about the Vitamin I take, if I would of had a malabsorption surgery. I still eat plenty of food with a band and absorb at the same rate I did prior to surgery. I'm not really sure why all these doctors hype up the need for special Vitamins. I just had my labs done and everything was WNL.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
