Help With Chewable Vitamins
I don't like the Jamieson Vita Vim chewables, but maybe they taste better than others. I've only tried them. I'm going to get some Bariatric Advantage chewable multis for after my surgery since they have no forms of sugar in them, unlike the Jamieson. Check out the thread below.

1st appointment - Feb. 23rd, 2012. RNY Dr Cyriac Mar. 11th, 2013.
I'm currently using Centrum 50+ chewable. I was told to use a prenatal vitamin like Materna.. but after surgery it was way to disgusting crushed to take it or have it with applesauce or pudding. So I went to Centrum 50+ chewable instead.

I have yet to find the Centrum 50+ chewable! I really need to find them in Ottawa. Also while on the subject what are you guys taking for calcium and D3?
I run The O.W.L.S. (Ottawa Weight Loss Surgery) Closet. We are a local clothing exchange and social group stemmed off of a couple of the local support boards on Facebook and also OH members for those having had or going to have WLS. We meet monthly for a large clothing exchange and potluck in the East end of Ottawa.

I got mine at Walmart. I've seen them at Costco and Loblaw.

Hi Mary
Where do you get them? I only see them sold online. Would like to use a vitamin that is readily available in some stores.
I have mine delivered and they offer free shipping if you are a regular customer..it's the ONLY vitamin (that I know of) that is formulated specifically for Bariatric Patients.
..for me personally I wouldn't consume vitamins made for 50 yr olds or pregnant women...just my preference.
I want to be as good to my body as I can and I figure if a company has spent possibly millions on research for bariatric patients I will take that over vitamins, that are formulated for the everyday public...again just my opinion (for my choice)
just had a chat with the live operator at Bariatric Advantage and this is what she stated
Mary: do you have a distributor for your product line in Canada yet?
Mary: ?
Danielle: I apologize
Danielle: Yes we do have a distributor in Canada, However our Canada Distribution center is down at the current moment. Due to it being down, we are shipping from the US.
Danielle: Unfortunately, We do not have a date on when it will be up and running again. Hopefully soon Mary.
Mary: so it's a temporary thing then?
Danielle: Yes, definitely.
