What kind of vitamins do you take?

Just wondering which vitamins everyone takes and if there is a big difference in regular vitamins and the ones geared toward gastric bypass patients.... and how much are they? Where do I get them? I have been taking my childrens chewables because I bought a HUGE bottle last time and now it is time for new ones. Thanks for your input. Theresa

I was using the Flinstone chewables, but left a nasty taste in my mouth. I switched to the centrum regular, non chewable and do not seem to have a problem getting them down. Hope this helps. Julie

I take my surgeon's recommendation: Optisource. They are chewable and citrus flavored, and I take 4 per day. They're formulated for bariatric surgery patients, and are available at Walgreen's for $24.99 for a month's supply. I'm looking forward to switching to a non-chewable alternative when the Dr. says it's ok to do so. I can't remember whether he says 6 months or 1 year post-op. Either way, I'm not there yet. Dawn

Its 1 to 2 years according to Chris. Ijust called and asked that same question. So I stopped in and bought some more and I also got a package of those yummy meringue cookies! YUM! Kathy

The Mighty Power Of Suggestion! I had some meringue cookies in my grocery bag before the day was over yesterday, too! Dawn

I use the optisource and it is 24.99 at Dr Bours office, but on the bottle you can get it or order them thru Walgreens 1-800-828-9194. It has everything that we need in it and it taste like orange..not bad at all! Patti

Thanks. I guess I will go to Walgreens and order so optisource. I am so glad I have people to ask all my questions. Theresa

I use vista vitamins. Got them through bariatriceating. Com, both the chewable for immediate post op then the capsules for post op when I'm eating regular food. Recommended by deborah s.

I take Centrum children's chewables...exact same ingredients as the adult ones, but more flavors. I am SO sick of them now though...makes me want to barf. lol I will check out our Walgreens and see if they have Optisource ~Elizabeth

Vista Vitamins made esp. for bariatric patients and their ad says "don't trust your health to a cartoon character" LOL I have never had bad labs or been off in any bloodwork by taking these vitamins. Deb
