I am having a hard time taking any type of chewable vitamins. I just ordered the patch for my multi vitamins but i dont like the taste of my chewable calcium, any suggestions on this?

I really like the Celebrate chewies. I take the multi and the calcium, it's like a treat to me, almost like a starburst. They come in several flavors. Check them out at Celebrate dot com

I hope you can find something that you can at least tolerate.

Celebrate has a sample pack that you can get from their website...for 9.95 they send you samples of just about everything they've got. And you get that back on your first order.

Good luck!

You don't have to take chewable vitamins or bariatric-marketed vitamins post-op. You can take regular vitamins and if they're too big, use a pill cutter to make them smaller.

Marinagirl,

Thank you so much for telling me I can take in pill form, I would rather do that instead of taking any type of pills I have to taste (yukk) as long as I can take these I will do so. Thank's for your help during my recent journey..

they also have a separate calcium vit d patch. What is in the multi patch alone is not enough calcium and vit d.

If you have not done so be sure and post this on the VSG FORUM also.

Good luck!
