I have Centrum Chewables and I think they taste like baby aspirin with an extra taste of yucky. I can't drink Crystal Light Orange for the same reason.

I found out that applesauce taste awful now. I think it tastes like chemicals.

Does the brand you use have all the B vitamins?  I've never seen a gummy that did.  Does it have copper and selenium?  I've never seen a gummy that did.

Please don't.  While you don't have malabsorption, you're still only getting a crappy-ass vitamin that even pediatricians are telling parents to avoid (for good reason).

You are not a 26lb 2 year old.  Nor are you a 37lb 4 year old.  That is who these are marketed for.  I have both of these in my life and I won't buy these for my children.

 Interesting....my nutritionist banned the gummies!  I love gummies!
You already know what fails.  You also know what works.    Pick one.

Contact Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate and ask for free samples to see if you like any of theirs.

It's medicine, not a treat.

I probably should not be on here today.  I am listening to the wife and kid argue about homework and all the snarky things I want to say to them are coming out here.

Having said that, I get tired of all the posts about how bad the vitamins and protein supplements taste.  Well, yeah, they taste like crap, for the most part.  But, we gotta have 'em, so figure out a way to choke 'em down or suffer the consequences.

Mmmmmmmmmmm.... I like my protein shakes.  But it took me a long time to find what I like, too.

Vitamins... I take tablets, no taste.  I DO hate calcium.  I can't find a comfortable way to take them.  It's not the taste, it's like swallowing cement.  Then I found out my UpCal D isn't all that hot for amount of Ca Citrate.  I'm pretty much over Calcium.  I'm about ready to just start buying Forteo!
