I’m currently using Tespo. The machine mixes the Vitamins with Water in a little cup. With the Bariatric vitamins you have two bariatric pods, and one women’s Multivitamin pod. They also give you a travel dispenser, which I take to work with me (one pod three times a day spread out). If you prefer you can use the travel dispenser to mix the powder with another beverage.

It tastes ok. The multivitamin is pretty tasty, but the bariatric “shot” is a lot less tasty. I’m still pre-op so I take it like an actual shot (it’s only like 1 or 2oz). But I’m guessing that will charge after surgery. The machine is kind of ridiculous. There a coupons to get it for $50, which isn’t too bad, but the machine is the size of a coffee maker. It will not likely survive my next move, but the travel dispenser should suffice. I can’t imagine why a person without bariatric surgery would opt for it, but it serves my purpose well enough.

After newmebithebypass responded, I checked the recommended dosages and Tespo's nutrition label. It looks like it's Iron, Folic Acid, Thiamine, Copper and Calcium content are all below the recommended guidelines, at least for gastric sleeve.

I'll be making use of their 30-day return policy.

I saw the Tespo on Amazon and really want to try it! My Vitamin poweder tastes so terrible and i am not that great at remembering to take them, is the flavor pretty decent? They are a tad bit expensive.

Has anyone tried Tespo? They mix into a drink.

It looks great but the Calcium wasn’t citrate (the one we need) and the levels of critical Vitamins are too low. You’d end up needing to use more pods. $$$.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
