Yes, I am using the Tespo vitamins. I didn’t buy the machine because I wanted to make sure I liked them and they worked well for me before I spent money on the machine. I got the on the go which is 12 and vitamins to start with. I like it a lot, just pour the powder into a little water shake it up and drink. I had a lot of problems with nausea and vomiting and it’s been the only vitamins that does not upset my stomach. Find it very easy and convenient. The taste isn’t my favorite but it’s not bad either just a little tangy for me. I had my blood work checked at my last checkup and everything looked really good with my levels so they are working. Initially my dietician said they didn’t have enough but she misread the website and didn’t see that for bariatrics there are two you take the women’s and the Bariatric formula.. I take one women’s and one bariatric in the morning and another bariatric in the afternoon. It’s not the cheapest but I do think the quality is very good and like I said my blood work shows they are working well for me. Hope you find a vitamin that will work for you :)

I really want to try it! It’s expensive, but I know how important vitamins are. I was originally sleeved on 2/2014, and had horrible issues with nausea and not keeping vitamins down. I just converted to bypass 6/26, and I feel a ton better, but am still nervous about how vitamins will work since I also have the malabsorption.

I just placed a one time order to see how I like them. I’m taking Thorne vitamins right now, several a day, several times a day. Not all that convenient. Thanks for making me aware of this option. If I like them, I’ll likely go all in!

I am going to do tespo as well just waiting for a sale

I got a coupon after giving them my email address and got my first month of vitamins free just had to buy the $12 Tespo go. You don’t need the machine unless you want it. With the Tespo go I just use that and mix the vitamins into a little water in a bottle, shake it up and drink, I’m sure the fancy machine is nice but it’s not necessary.

I forgot to use the code: 25offpod to get a 25% discount at the Tespo website. Perhaps that will work for you.

Love Tespo. It’s a game changer

Thank you all for your input

I’m looking to sell mine.

I’ve tried them two days in a row. Each day they have caused me terrible nausea. I took them with food the first day but had nausea and diarrhea. Today, I mixed them in my shake but wound up with such awful nausea I needed Zofran, CBD oil and a 4 hour nap!
They may not be for me. :(

This is interesting. Didn’t know you didn’t have to buy the machine. This is good because my counter space is low in my kitchen lol.

good info, thx

Turns out, if I take the three doses spaced throughout the day after I have a bit of food in my stomach, I don’t have trouble. Sticking with them until the pods are finished then making a decision.

I know that this thread is a few years old but I'm curious how it eventually worked out for you.

Thanks!
