Bariatric Advantage Multivitamin flavors???
"The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore" Vincent Van Gogh
I went to Vitamin Shoppe and bought Twinlabs One-a-Day capsules along with some sublingual B12. The vitamins exceed the US RDA for most categories by at least 200%. My surgeon said that as long as I take my vitamins 1X a day, my body will eventually build up stores of these vitamins and minerals and the daily amounts I'm ingesting will more than make up for the malabsorption.
In all honesty, I think that most of these vitamin and bariatric food companies engage in swift marketing and play into the fears of people.

I tried bariatric advantage vitamins for a while and made me nauseous. No matter what flavor I tried the result was the same. I switched to vita4life and they worked great for me. Have been a user of vita4life gastric bypass vitamins for over three years now and have no complaints. My labs also look great.
The brands like BA, Centrum, Flintstones rely on marketing gimmick and push products that do not promote health. Do your bit of the research and see the side effects of vitamins from these brands.
I'll be out & about tomorrow - first day since surgery! I go see my dr in Baltimore for follow up. PM me if you'd want my vitamins, b/c I don't think I'll be keeping them....
