bad bad taste!!!

Hi everyone, Anyone knows any better way to take these nasty tasting vitimins.Im taking b1-100, calcium citrate, multi vit w/iron just simply nasty stuff,Im still in stage one until I go back to see DR H. Oh bye the way andrew thankyou for the sugar free pop cicle and the strain can soup ideal, very very good.Ok any sugestions on the vitimin thing?

Atonio, I take my b vitamins with yogurt, or with a protein shake. That is the only way I have found to take those nasty tasting things, lol Good luck, hope this helps. Kathleen

I dont know of any easier way to take them. I now swallow them but I am a year out. still take them every day. but they sure do help you feel good. Colette

I find it odd that everyone is taking a B100. At my one week appt. I was told I didn't have to take them just yet. Margie said since I didn't have any nasuea or anything that I didn't have to take them yet. As for the B-12 shots, Dr. H. told me to wait on that too. All I take right now is a Flistone chewable, which I suck on until it's gone, and 2 viactive calcuims. I guess everyone is different. Julia told me that when she had to smash her pills and take them, she would take jelly or preserves, stick the crushed pill in the middle of that and stick another glob on top of that. I am still on stage 2 and I have found seedless preserves that are sugar free and really good. Just be sure to look at the contents!!

Hey Tony I have been taking the OptiSource vitamins every since surgery and they are great, they are chewable orange flavor tabets, I take four a day, it cost 24.99 and I get mine at Dr. Hornbostel office or Walgreen's, they have everything you need and they are especially made for bariatric patients, so you might look into that. Hope that is helpful information for you Barbara T.

Antonio, Look at previous posts and you'll find Claudette's vitamin suggestions. She's five years post-op and has a pretty good handle on what tastes least nasty and also doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I think she posted them late last week. If you can't find it, email me and I'll forward it to you. Also, Tami takes Sams Club prenatal chewable vitamins and always has and her labs are great and she's a couple of years post-op. Hope this helps, I'm pre-op and not looking forward to nasty tasting meds. However, that said, it's a small price to pay for the promise of a new life. Keep on keepin on, Tony. Love and hugs Lana

Antonio as for the B-100 I cru**** and mix it in with some 100% All Natural Apple Sauce, it still taste bad but does help. I just had my 1 month appt yesturday and Dr. H said I could start taking pills again, so it wont last to long bud. As for the calcuim and multi vitamin, I take the Citrate Chewables, they taste like sweet tarts and the flintstones chewables, they arent to bad either. Glad I could help on the popcicles, I still live on them alot. Hang in there, it does get better!!!! Andrew
