Multi-Vitamin

I take Celebrate Multi-complete 36 chewables with iron, Forest Berry Flavor (I also ordered the other flavors but haven't tried them yet). I just ordered another 6 month supply of them, and when they're gone, I'll switch to the capsules as I should be able to swallow capsules by then (I still can't now).

They're made specifically for bariatric patients and were recommended by my centre, but are only available in the US, but they ship world wide. I didn't like the taste at first but don't even notice it now.

Hi Barb,

I am taking a Chewable Jamieson prenatal - it tastes like sour apple. If you are ok with a bit of a sour taste, then give it a shot. It took me awhile to find something chewable thats decent as I can't choke down huge pills... and the vitamins are big. Julie

Hi Barb, I take 2 of these every morning. They were on the recommended list from TWH. They have no gluten, no artificial colours or flavours.

They are big... so I bite off pieces like I would food and chew them in small bites. The taste is fine. I just can't pop a whole one in my mouth at once.

I'm a lot better, thanks for asking. :)

I still tire easily but not like the last time I saw you. I am resting when I need to, going to sleep early, but thankfully also back to the world of mostly productive living!!

How are you? Still great?

Yes! Feeling great and losing lots of weight. Clothes are starting to fit better and have lots of energy for the most part. I have had a few days where I have been tired but I think that is because I am not sleeping much at night. I am getting by on 3-4 hours only. I've had insomnia in the past, but since surgery it's been particularly bad. I have lots on my mind though....new weight, new wardrobe, new car, trip to Hawaii! Life is good!

At my 6 month the dietician changed my multi from a prenatal to LIFe BRAND version of "one a day" women 50+. it has to be life brand. that vitamin is much better - it's a tiny bit smaller but it's coated so not chalky at all. Also it's cheaper...it's usually one sale for less than 10$.

good luck!
