Tasty chewable bariatric vitamin?

I used Centrum Silver chewable before surgery and thought it was okay tasting but it doesn't have the 200% recommended values for lots of the vitamins. I tried samples of Bariatric Advantage Multi-vits and thought I liked the orange but now that I am taking them twice a day (after surgery) I can barely choke them down. They taste horrid to me. I also can't stand their mint calcium citrate. I do like their orange calcium chews - although don't like the 45 calories for them and like their berry iron pill.

Any recommendations for a good tasting bariatric multi-vit? I do realize that everyone has different tastes but would still like input! Thanks!

I tried a couple of the BA chewables and they were terrible. I do a double dose of the Centrum Silver and separate iron.

I never found anything to be particularly tasty.  If Centrum doesn't suck - that's probably the best you're going to get.  Another alternative are vitamin patches.  I'm a big fan of Patchmd.com, and they always have a 40% off coupon circulating, making them only $12/month.

I've been taking 2 Centrum chewables without iron since surgery and I had my 4 month check up and all my blood work came back great. I like the flavor and they are very smooth to chew. I getting reading to start taking a new multi now that I can swallow. Its called Simply One Women Triple Power made by Super Nutrition. They are huge pills, I might have to cut them in 1/2.

Thank you everyone for your input. I'll go back to the Centrum Silver chewables!

I really like my Celebrate chewables. You can order samples via their site. They come with a coupon for your next order that effectively makes them free.

I got  BariMelts on Amazon. They taste fine and you can either chew them or let them melt in your mouth (it takes a while). I found them because I can't have artificial sweeteners or stevia. They're made with monk fruit. They taste....actually pretty damn good. It's help keep me on schedule with my vitamin-taking!!! They also have good calcium citrate melts.

Plus, if you've got Prime, they get to your door in two days, free!
