My doctor said take a chewable flintstone vitamins... one in the am, one in
the pm. Now that I am further out I take centrum chewable, once daily.

Metagenics Web Site has Bariatrix Chewable Vitamins - specifically for
bariatric surgery patients! Very good ones, and price isn't bad. If you
want more info on them, e-mail me back at [email protected].

I was told to take Flinstone or Bugs Bunny chewable after Lapband surgery
but I'm not sure how long I have to take these. I will find out soon.

Did your doctor tell you to use chewable vitamins? I had RYN in 1999 and I
started taking USANA Essentials soon thereafter. I did have to spread them
out over the day and make certain that I took them with some solids (which
you always should anyway) but because they dissolve easily and completely,
are pharmacutical grade and have received the Gold Medal for Best
Nutritional Supplement for many years I found them to be the best choice
for me. Ask your doctor because USANA Essentials are listed in the PDR of
Nutritional Supplements.
Wishing you the very best.
I hope you'll look my profile and read my blog when you have the
opportunity.

I have been using Optisouce since my lapband surgery on June fifteenth of
this year. It is a post bariatric surgery formula. It has been working
very well for me. You can find it at your local walgreens. It they don't
have it in stock they can order it for you.

Another option is using a spray vitamin. I use Vitamist (which is absorbed
by the mucous membranes in your mouth). Spray vitamins are absorbed much
better than pills or liquids. I take a multivitamin, a Calcium, and a
Vitamin B-12 (all by spray). The price is competitive, and I do not get
nauseous afterward like I do with pills. Go to vitamist.com and check them
out.
