Best chewable one a day vitamin for Bariatric patients?
I like the CVS generic of Centrum silver. It taste better than the Centrum to me. Doesn't have iron but that doesn't matter to me cause I have never needed Iron. You can get them on sale frequently for BOGO free. I get my non-chewable calcuim citrate from them also.

If you're going to use the one a day gummies, you'll need to add some additional vitamins to make up for what they are missing. Let's see, you'll need some thiamin, some B2, some B3, some copper, some selenium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin K... by the time you get all those down, you won't have room for anything else!

As far as the calcium, they do not have a chew that can be taken twice a day if you want to get the 1500-2000 mg calcium citrate we need. Since we can only absorb about 500 mg at a t ime, we must take calcium three or four times a day.
