gummy vitamins?

where did you find them and which do you use? i got my bariatric advantage chewables and they're terrible. i'll take them if i have to but if i can find a substitute for at least a couple that'd be perfect.. 

My husband, who has had his vsg, takes the regular flintstone chewables (not gummies). His labs have been great.

Edit: he also takes calcium and vitamin d. I think he has been using the viactiv calcium (some here have said those are no good, but they seem to work fine for him) and just whatever vitamin d he can pick up at wal mart.

 that's all he takes? i'm suppose to take a multivit, iron, calcium citrate with magnessium, b12, and probably something else i'm forgetting at the moment

The chewable multi that he uses is the flintstones complete.  It has 100% dv of b12 and iron.  The viactiv is a calcium citrate, not sure if it has magnesium in it or not (althought he mulit does have some of the magnesium in it). 

VitaFusion gummies from Costco... they're yummy.  However, they do not contain any iron so if you need iron, you'll have to supplement.  I think RiteAid and Walgreens also carry this brand but I'm sure they're more expensive.

 we don't have a costco here but i'll check walgreens..thanks!

I get MVI gummies at wal-mart.  I have looked at other MVI as I do not have problems swallowing pills, but I notice they contain both iron and calcium...can't figure that one out if calcium inhibits iron absorption.

My regimen is MVI twice a day, Calcium 3 times a day (need atlease 1500mg calcium), iron once a day(2 hours apart from any calcium/milk product) and nascobol once a week.

I go this week for 6wk postop visit so I will feel better after I see how my labs are.

 Don't know how far out you are, but when I had my sleeve last week they told me no gummy vitamins for a long while. The said they can get caught in my tummy and hurt.

 I was warned specifically not to take vita fusion gummies because they are not a complete multivitamin. Specifically my surgeon said they (and almost all gummies) don't contain thiamin. Thiamin deficiency is common in bariatric patients.

 I use Centrum Chewables they are complete including iron - they are decent tasting like a cream sickle - not as good as vita fusion etc but better than the bariatric multivitamin. I take vitamin B12 from SAMs club - they are a generic brand 2500 that dissolve under your tongue and have a great cherry flavor...now I take a lot of B12 because I find it gives me a lot of energy and the dietitian approved it - however they also come in a lower dosage (500 or 1000 recommended in your packet) at Sams and are cheaper than the B12's I have bought at Vitamin world and GNC. I agree with you that the bariatric multi's are really chalky tasting, I have tried the cinnamon and was disappointed, however, their calCium citrate chews are awesome tasting - I have them in caramel, chocolate, lemon and  raspberry!! To cut the cost down a little I also bought calcium citrate Chewables from Unjury which taste awesome as well - they are orange flavor but not nearly as chalky as the bariatric advantage multi's...also, when you order from unjury I highly recommend buying the starter packets of all the Ir protein flavored (including their unflavored) - they are all awesome tastiNg too - especially their chicken soup one - I learned about it from someone Else on this forum and wished I ordered sooner! With the starter kit they also Send you a packet of recipe ideas for all their protein flavors for bariatric surgery liquid/ MoosHy stages!!
