Come in here and talk to me about your vitamins!
I want to take Citrical Petites but someone mentioned they were not absorbing them. I'm doing fine with the BA dry Vit D, B-12, and Celebrate grape multi's although most days it's a struggle to chew them.
Tell me about what's working for you.
Hey girlie.. if you check your bariatric Doc's desk there should be a display with some supplements called BB vitamins.. most offices will have a test pack.. but anyways I take this citrate supplement that tastes like fruit juice in a liquid packet.. tastes good.. two packets a day give you 1200 grams calcium and 900 grams vitamin D.. they are medium pricey depending on the moth supply you choose can get a package deal.. BUT ITS WORTH it... I luv taking my vitamins now.. just click on link above.. They work all my test results except for my IRON.. because i tried to be cheap and us WALMART brand which do not work for me period.. but the but all other vitamins I take for BB worked good and the test results say so ( vitamin, E, D, A&D, calcium, and B-12, B sublingual)ALSO TRY BARIATRIC CHOICE
have a nice day
I take CVS Spectravite chewables 2x daily. I prefer the regular multivitamin (orange) to the senior formula (berry) but I'll take either.
I use the BA Calcium Chews (lemon or raspberry) and I haven't gotten sick of them yet. I rarely have sweets or even fruit, so it is still a treat to me. I also use Solaray chewable calcium citrate. It's a real orange flavor, but a big tablet. I suck on them usually. I take 2 of them 4x daily.
I use any kind of sublingual B12..any dosage and take 1 daily. Even the lowest dosage ones will give me enough for my weekly minimum.
I take Enyzmatic Vitamin D3. It's a teeny chocolate chewable tablet. Once daily.
I also take 1 chewable iron daily..I don't remember the band on that one though, but I found it on Vitacost.com.
I take a chewable probiotic 3x daily as well. My dietician showed me a study where they said post-bypass patients who used probiotics lost 10% more weight..so I'll take it! My chewables are banana flavored and I love them.
