vitamins?

i have been checkin around for vitamins and i think im gonna go nuts. i been thinkin that i would like to use a different vitamin than the flintstones chewables. i just think that since we are gettin most of our vitamins through supplements i would rather trust a better vitamin than a childrens chewable. does anyone have any advice on this or am i just overthinkin it?

 I use Bariatric Advantage as it is formulated specifically for bariatric patients.  These can be purchased from St. Vincent's Bariatric Center or through BariatricEating.com.

If you like the taste of them and will chew them.. they will hep rather than hurt... Thats why they put them on your list.. Personlly I couldnt get past the smell of the bottle.. so I crushed regular vitamins.. then broke them up.. then split them in half until the day I could take the whole thing...  WHATEVER you can live the rest of your life doing...

I was so bad that now I have to take shots and perscriptions...

I like my Bariatric Fusion vitamins. You chew 4 a day for RNY patients 2 a day for LapBand patients. They're available online at bariatricfusion.com .  I use the orange cream flavor. Tastes something like a pushup popsicle. $25.99/month for RNY patients and it has EVERYTHING in it you need. 1 bottle, so you're not toting around a pharmacy.
They also carry protein powders. While I'm not a fan of their protein, their shaker cup is cute, and a good size for a newbie post op.

I just looked on the bariatricfusion.com site and noticed that the calcium listed is carbonate and not citrate. Does it really matter? All the reading/research Ive done said to take  citrate. However when I couldn't tolerate the HUGH citrate tablets, my doctor okayed for me to take Tums which is carbonate only, but then the dietician told me to get on a citrate. I am now on the Bariatric Advantage chews. Just thought I see what everyone else is taking. Thanks!

I use One Source Active Kids Complete multiVitamins.  They are adult strength and have everything in there.  I did not like the taste of Flintstones or the Adult Centrum.

I also use Bariatric Advantage and order direct from their website.  I also get my protein powder from them and they do auto-refills with free shipping.  I'm pretty sure you can also get samples if you want to try them first.
