Vitamins - What brand do you like

I had my follow up visit yesterday.  I've been having a hard time with the Dr's brand of vitamins.  Keeping them down that is (even after grinding them up.  I put them in food and it's all the same.  One of my friend's who's a different kind of Dr said, their may be something I'm allergic to in them.

I don't want to waste any more money on vitamins, I spent a small fortune (I'm sure everyone has) on them before surgery. 

I wanted to try the Liquid Tropical Oasis.  I have a friend *****ally likes them.  However, the NP for my surgeon doesn't like liquid multi's.  She said the only liquid she likes is D. (Then never could get the "why" out of her)

The NP told me to go to Bariatric Advantage and buy the High ADEK. 

Tropical Oasis Liquid

Has anyone used these?

What brand do you like?

Thank You!

 I don't use liquid supplement (except for prescription Iron) and think most are just sugar water. For us, we need very specific types of vitamins. 

Multi-vitamins, for most of us are "gap fillers." We usually take the separate vitamins so the ones in the multi aren't used by us (usually the wrong type anyway) but the minerals and other things in it help close in the gap for us.

I predominantly take capsules for everything. I take everything from VitaLady or Vitamin Shoppe. The only two hard pills I take are my vitamin C and my multi which I get at Cost****irkland brand).

Depending on how new your tummy is will determine how well those things go down. A lot of newbies take chewables because those are easier to get and keep down. 

Most DS'ers will take separate A, D, E, and K supplements, C, b-complex, B-12 (methycobalamin specificlly!!!), calcium, iron and so on ...

 Editing to add that the Bariatric Advantage supplements aren't BAD but you will find that to get the levels of vitamins most think are optimal, you'll need to take a lot more than they recommend on the bottle and they are expensive.

It's far cheaper to buy everything separately in the end. 

 TaliTali, you are spot on! 

I separate them as TaliTali described. One stop shopping at www.vitalady.com for me.

Gina, do you have a link to Vitalady's beginners plan for the OP, I don't think I have the recent one.  Thanx.

Sure do. Posted below. ;)

I too suggest you forget the ADEKs and buy your A and D from Vitalady.

I now use vitalady after taking the Bariatric Advantage High ADEK my dr. recommended and my 3 month labs came back in the toilet. I am anxious to see my 6month labs in November after being on her regimine for 3 months.

Thank You all...
