Target has chewable gummy prenatals. I just found these, wish I would have had them when I was actually pregnant! They taste good.

 We're not supposed to be taking any Gummy form of vitamins, we don't absorb them properly!!

I had the lap band and its supposed to be fine for me so I assumed with the sleeve it would have been the same. I didn't know that.

LOL oh crap, sorry I never even looked I just assumed u had the RNY, oops!!! I am not sure how you guys absorb the gummies. I know for RNY patients they just aren't good for us! Sorry if there was any inconvenience!!

You might want to switch to another kind or you can try taking at night before you go to bed.  Also, there are woman, including myself that don't take a prenatal, we just continue taking our multi-vitamins and other supplements if needed!  Have you had your levels checked lately?  I had mine done before I had prenatals prescribed and was told my levels were fine and continue the vitamins I was taking (except my iron was high, so they told me to take that every other day verses every day).  Good luck!

Hi! I take 3 Flintstones a day plus a coramaga and my ob said I have had some of the best labs they have every seen in a wls patient! Hope you find something that works!

I take two of the targe brand "Flinstones" daily.  The gummies don't have any iron (even prenatal gummies) so watch out for those.  My surgeon and OB are both on board with these vites.  Taking two of them actually has more of all the important vites than the prenatals that I took with my first.
