    Default Waiting and more waiting and vitamins

    I went to my first dietician appointment yesterday and it went well. I am REALLY hoping that insurance accepts me asap and i can get my surgery scheduled!! I have been waiting for this for a couple months now. Insurance is my last step so this journey is almost begun already. I just can't wait. The only thing i am worried about are the multivitamins. I don't do well with swallowing pills --- and prefer chewable. However, the options the dietician gave me were awful. Are there any "good" multivitamins you can take after the sleeve?

    I'm using the Bariatric Choice vitamins...they are all chewable and while I don't totally love them...they are doable....I'm getting used to them.

    I have the multi vitamin, calcium and the b-12. I also found a chewable biotin at CVS that isn't bad at all.

    Bariatric choice are terrible, I threw them away!
    I am eating Vita Gummies -- I like them a lot. Vitafusion is the brand.
