I'm just over the 3 month mark and I'm still having trouble taking my Vitamins I find they either taste to sweet or gross and the same with my Protein Drinks any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

Try a variety of kinds, start with trail sizes, and brands that are returnable. Mix it up with gummies, chewables, tablets and Patches. In the end treat them like meds. Utterly necessary and a part of adulting.

Can't you just put them in your mouth and swallow with some Water without tasting them?

Okay I’m 8 Months out I like the Premier Protein seems to have the best flavor.My Dr doesn’t allow anything Gummy until 6 Months out because of sticking and digestion.I use the flint stones chewables after I eat something.The bigger swallow ones I can’t digest ,early on I did use the Patches but they get a tad expensive good luck

And I went back to my prenatals, small, only need one a day, a little Water in the mouth, toss it in and down she floats! Nice, easy and it's over until tomorrow! Loathed Flintstones taste, hated grinding pills, thought Bari-Melts weren't all that melty, felt like flavored sand in my 👄, a complication I did not need. Only concession I still make is dissolving my big White Carafate into a slurry in a medicine cup and drinking that.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
