I was taking the Flinstones chewables. I had my first postop visit with my doctor yesterday, and told her how much I hated them. I also questioned why i needed a chewable...when I'm able to take other pills. She finally relented and I can now take one a day. Thank God no more chewables. I also take a tums before every meal.

i Too Take A Flintstones W/iron Chewable. I Also Take Caltrate 600 W/vitamin D Chewable Twice A Day. Funny, I Couldn't Stand To Chew The Flintstones Before Being Banded, But Now I Don't Have A Problem. Maybe Its Cause I Am Willing To Put Anything In My Mouth During This Liquid Stage.............lol

I take upcal with vitamin d in powder form twice a day. I get it from the hospital and the cost is about the same as Oscal. What is nice is that I can mix it in anything. There is no taste to it. My multi vitamin is now Barriatric Essentials that I ordered from Nashua Nutrition. It's a good vitamin in gel pill form. The delivery time is about 4 days and my doctor said it was a good vitamin to take

GNC has a pretty good tasting chewable vitamin. Easy to chew- just an fyi- don't try their liquid vitamin- the smell is enough to gag you and the taste is worse!

I take GNC Chewable Solotron. It is an adult chewable. They also have a chewable calcium. Of course I am so dang horrible at remembering them.

Are we allowed to take a chewable vitamin right after surgery? I got a bottle of Natures Plus adults chewable. Tastes like pineapple!!
Or do we wait until a different stage?

The bottle of vitamins is sitting on my desk (I am taking a regular multivitamin now) and this means I will take it at least five days out of seven. My routine at home is so unpredictable I was never taking my vitamins! Quote:

I take GNC's Women's Ultra Mega Live Well. It is a strawberry flavored shake mix. I blend it up with either frozen strawberries and a banana, or just a banana, every morning. It doesn't taste very good without the added fruit, but I do that for breakfast. I w

I like Walgreen's generic of Flinstones. They are better than Flinstones. And I take Xango daily as well.
