On my way to the doctors for a check up I'm crossing my fingers he's going to let me have soft foods Now and be done with this pureed diet !!!

I have not been good about taking my vitamins recently because I hate the taste of the chewable tablets. I bought the women's one a day to try to take instead... it's too big, so I cut it in half, but then the taste of it cut made me throw it back up. What multivitamin are you guys using? I would prefer one I can just swallow.

Me either, Lou. I am sick of the taste of mine, which I loved before surgery! I still have a two month's supply of Celebrate chewables to get through.

I like my chewable multi vitamin and my b12...It's the calcium citrate chewables that have me gagging! I got some unflavored Ucal-d calcium citrate powder to put in my protein shake...but still have to chew two of these nasty things a day to get in the 1000 mg my nut wants me to get.

What brand of chews are you using because i love mine.

I wish they weren't all sweet! I did find a great liquid bcomplex (nature's bounty) to add to drinks.I'm looking forward to one day swallowing whole pills.

Before surgery i bought three big bottles of VitaCost Calcium citrate chewable! They are so nasty! What are you taking?

I do the gummies they taste alot bettrr

I do gummies too although some are higher in sugar than I'd like. I am not a sweet fan and it seems like all I take is artificially flavored fruit this or that. I love my decaf coffee and still miss my diet pepsi. I've heard we have to do chewables for absorbtion not just size.

I order Bariatric Advantage calcium citrate chewy bites from www.bariatricadvantage.com they have Carmel, lemon, raspberry and chocolate. They are so so good! My fav is Carmel and lemon and it's like having a piece of candy three to four times a day. I even shared them with the girls in my office who are not bypass patients and they all ordered some with me. Their price is really reasonable too!

I take bariatric Advantage Multi Vitamin crystals Wild berry flavor Its a powder and you mix it in with water And I think it tastes really good I drink that twice a day And then I only have to take a sublingual b12 And Chewable iron and that's it

So the protein vials I told you guys about have me a serious case of the squirts! No more of that. These are the calcium I am taking...
