I alternate (daily) between Centrum Chewables and chewable Centrum Silver. I occasionally also take regular Centrum pills if I find them on sale.

A and E.. It was one that my surgeon's office recommended, so I started with it for that reason, switched to BA chewables, but then switched back after I saw (thanks to you, Kelly) that the Centrum met the ASMBS guidelines (and costs SO much less).

Centrum Silver Chewables. My nut has a handout comparing all the different brands recommended for WLS pts. and it was the most cost effective, easily available, and met all the requirements.

My poll answer is a mixture of A,B,C. I take Centrum Chewables, but I am soooo over the chewable aspect, so when they are gone, I will get the regular Centrum swallowable pills. My whole bariatric team recommends them. I see the Bariatric Nurse Practioner more than anyone else and they actually give samples of the chewable centrum if you cant afford them.

Choice E - the nuts at my surgeon's office recommended Flintstones, but said that Centrum "was ok too." I read the ASMBS, and went with Centrum.

No brainer - and since I'd like to keep my brain and all other organs functioning, I want something designed for adults that will keep me functioning as an adult.

Centrum Silver - not chewables. Developed an awful gag reflex to all those chewable vitiamins! I have to cut them in half to get them down, but hey...I get an extra 10 or so ounces of water..lol!!

OH actually helped me decide. My NUT & surgeon gave me the guidelines, made some recommendations, but left the final choice up to me.

Centrum Silver Chewable (or the drug store brand equivalent). Recommended by my bariatric program.

E (ASMBS guidelines) & H (cost) - I am a couponer so I will get whatever vitamins are closest to free that meet my basic criteria, guided by ASMBS.  I've mostly been taking regular Centrums.

Does anyone have any insight/opinion on Centrum vs One A Day?  I never hear One A Day vitamins being recommended, and I think I remember comparing them in the store and the Centrums were superior, but I can't remember specifics.

I haven't compared the labels.  You could look them up online or just compare them next time you're at the store.  I'm too lazy to look them up right now.

 i think when i looked it was kind of like where one was under the other met and vice versa so pretty comprable. i usually use one-a-day because they are usually cheaper. right now i have a different one (don't even remember the name!) that my mom picked up at bj's that's a 6 month supply for like $15 that had good stats
