Celebrate vs. Bariatric Advantage?
I'm still a couple weeks pre-op (sleeve) and am trying to figure out which supplements I should order. I have samples from both Celebrate and Bariatric Advantage. To all the vitamin experts out there, do you recommend one brand over the other? I'm taste testing the samples, and I may end up choosing based on taste. With that being said, I don't want to shortchange myself by choosing taste over quality, i.e. what my body needs post-op.
I'm also in a conundrum about which supplements I actually need. My surgeon's office pushes BA's products and they have set up an e-store with specific "kits" for each type of surgery. In the sleeve kit, they include 60 mg chewable iron, sublingual B-12, a chewable multi-vitamin, 400 mg calcium citrate + vitamin D lozenges and 100 mg vitamin B-1. When I go to the order builder on Celebrate, they only recommend the multi-vitamin, the calcium PLUS chewable and the iron+C 30 mg chewable. Are the extra B vitamins in BA's kit that essential? Is Celebrate's recommendation inclusive enough?
Sorry for all the questions, but this is clearly something I know very little about. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
