What Kind of Vitamins do you take?

[fatmom 0]

I take the Bariatric Advantage vits too. berry flavored. I don't usually chew them, just dissolve them in my mouth. I also use their chocolate calcium citrate lozenges because the citrate is supposed to be better absorbed than the caltrate that is in the yummy Viactiv chews.

I take the chewables from Trader Joes, and chewy bites Calcium from Bariatric Advantage. I look forward to both because they taste like candy.< /p>

I use Vitaband from bariatricadvantage.com, they have 3 flavors, and if you call them, they will send you a free sample pack so you can try each flavor. If you can't handle chewables, they also sell some small capsules that should go through your band easier. I think that they are made for RNY patients, but I'm sure its similar.

Wow thx for the info!

I just called & was told they also send samples of other items that may be of use for free.

Good info!

My doc asks that we take:

B12 for energy-- I do the sublinguals

Multivitamin-- he prescribed a chewable prenatal to start with (it is nasty, but I'm getting used to it) and I bought Centrum chewables to follow up with. They did say Flintstones were fine too.

Calcium Citrate-- Tums chewables

Calcium Carbonate-- Caltrate + D petites

Biotin for hair loss-- I use the Spring Valley capsules, because they pull apart and you can sprinkle the powder in your food-- it has no taste that I can detect.

I use a bariatric multi my doctor's office sells--because my FSA reimburses me. I've also used Bariatric Advantage, and like them.

In addition, I take Biotin, Co Q-10 (at my surgeon's recommendation), Vitamin D, Omega oils, and zinc.

I take Centrum adult chewables, Iron and B12 all of which I had to take all year long b/c of anemia. Doc said just keep taking those. I did buy some Biotin today at Walmart. I don't wanna lose my hair.< /p>

Flintstones chewables and Viactiv Calcium chews....my nutritionist said not to get the Gummy kind

[JJLaw08 4]

I get the Target brand Flintstones chewables. They are kinda nasty. I take one per day. I also need to start back taking my Calcium.< /p>

Hair loss? ! Help! No one mentioned that to me. I take the Centrum chewables b/c I was told to stay away from the gummies. I also use the liquid sub lingual b-complex and tums for calcuim. What is the issue with Barium??

[Froggie D 1]

I take a Target brand prenatal Vitamin (not pregnant) and a Citrical petite.

How small are the Citrical Petites? I looked at them but wasn't sure. I was told not to take anything bigger than an M&M. The Calcium chewables are expensive.

i take optisource chewable vitamins & Mineral Supplement. they are 27.99 at walgreens. they are for bariatric patients who have had any kind of wls.

Has anyone tried vitamist Vitamins? They come in spray tubes. My mother used to sell them years ago and they are still around (vitamist.com) you can order them without a consultant now I believe. But I am hoping to have surgery early next year and am hoping to be able to take those. I am alergic to red dyes therefore some Vitamin chewies are not a possibility for me. I am also having a hard time finding a Protein Water that does not contain red dyes.

At the recommendation of my surgeon, one Flintstone with Iron daily and one complex B Vitamin daily. I do add in the Citrical Petite Calcium and a Vitamin C.< /p>
