I bet most OH members could guess how I made my choice!

Centrum Chewables

Centrum Silver tablets

My dietitian recommended Flintstones, but after coming to OH, and learning more, I switched even though my dietitian insisted the Flintstones we still okay after I showed her the data.

Centrum Chewables.

They were recommended by my surgeon and many of my online vitamin guru friends take them too so I felt comfortable with them.

My dietician recommended Centrum or Flintstones. I decided since I was not 5 years old I would go with the Centrum.

I bought the kind my surgeon and dietician recommended. I think it's the Bariatric Advantage brand. They sell them in their office (at cost) and it was just convenient for me to pick up the bottles I needed while I was there.

Edited to add: Which reminds me I start my vitamins this morning. I just went and got them and omg... they're not good.

I looked at the American bariatric guidelines for needed nutrition in a vitamin regimen, and after comparing the "Bariatric" vitamin contents against Centrum chewables, I decided to go for the Centrum (more cost efficient) I just recently switched to the non-chewable Centrum after 2 1/2 years. I stayed with the chewables for so long simply out of habit.
