I forgot to mention this earlier, but I bought some a couple of weeks ago. I compared them to the band vitamins on line and in some vitamins they compare well and not so in others. I did notice that the bariatric vitamins have more than the recommended daily amount for most of the vitamins. The chewable does not have minerals either. Another problem is they taste like
Ju-Jubes, I want to eat the whole bottle.

Did you say ju-jubes? Yummmmm!! I have gummi-bear chewable vitamines in my desk at work. Yeah, I'm 12. ;-)

I'm hoping that the Doctors will let us know what type of vitamines we needs to take, and how much once we get the surgery. There's such a wide variance of what type of surgery needs and how much of what we all need that it's hard to tell what we're going to need. All I know is that for the DS, I can't take fat soluable vitamines anymore since DS'ers only digest 20% fat, they don't digest the complete amount of the vitamines. But getting back to the point - vitamines that taste like ju-jubes?? I'm so there!!

All I need is a Costco!

Hey nougat- what a sweet name! LOL
But you only get to take 2 a day!! I don't think they will work for you post-DS!!
For the band, Dr B said that I only have to take calcium and Vitamin D. He may have said iron but I have to take it anyway. Once I know the dosage, I will know if the ju-jube vitamins are enough!

Do you remember the Snickers commercial from about 3 years ago where this guy was in this office and pulls out a guitar and starts singing about Snickers to this guy who's eating a Snickers? Well one of the lines goes something like "...rivers of prancing nougat", and someone on a forum that I read said that it would make a great user name. So guess who stole it. :-D
And that's the story of how I got my name...
