I am down to the wire and recognized that I don't have the correct or sufficiant mutlivitamin.  Which one of these would you suggest and why?  I'm not really into chewables that much because of the flavors, but I will do what I need to do!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

I've been knawing on centrum silver from day 1. Flinstones are a joke compared to centrum... and the centrum tastes slightly better.  Never had any low numbers in bloodwork.

 Hi Cindy,

I started out after my RNY with Flintstone's complete vitamins but after a year or maybe a little more I changed to Centrum with Iron.    I have never had bad labs as far as anything goes other than my iron being a little low last  year ( which we corrected with massive  iron doses for 3 months ).   Good luck on your decision.    


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Flinstones are for children. Be a grown-up.

Go with the Centrum.  Flintstones do not have what you need - not even if you take two a day.  Note that the Centrum Silver has no iron, which is not a problem.  Many good multis don't have iron.  You just take iron at a later time, away from your calcium.

If you don't like chewables, many people are able to swallow pills right after surgery with no problem.  Celebrate also makes a product called ENS which is a powder you mix with water.  I think it tastes like Koolaid.  They will send you a free sample if you email them and ask.
