It does make some noise because it vibrates the the pod to get all powder out into the water... and then spins the cup to mix... I wouldn't say it's that loud though... I think it's only about an once, the cup is like slightly bigger than a votive candle holder... I have noticed some of the powder gets on the machine so I just use a small paint brush to brush it into the cup. That's the only thing I noticed that I don't like... but I did email them my feedback on that ..

I spoke with my Doctor, and with the nutrition clinic actually ( they give you things to take instead of taking "pills" prescribed from doc... I explained my issues I was having and was recommended to take liquid, spoke to the doc ... and I did research online, not just after the person responded to me.. I researched before I decided to do something for myself .. I don't take lightly to just throw money away... I am not trying to "convince" others... I WAS JUST TRYING TO SHARE SOMETHING THAT IS WORKING FOR ME! What upset me about his response is that to me if felt like he was putting down why I would do that and then was slightly rude with the " it's your money" you can't say things like "most people" because you just don't know that.. and I just came on here to share something that is helping me... what is so wrong with that? In the original post I said if you're having trouble give it a try.. I didn't even state any facts, or research in my original post! I simply talked about the system I use, what I take and my experience .. this is MY journey... you have yours .. we are ALL different This app is such a joke..
-
I think you have your research.. If it's something that's not for you then my experience really isn't for you right?
-
I didn't just use google... but thank you for those papers! I love to read more research... But for me the tespo is working.. I was merely offering something that I am doing and something that I have found helpful and useful for me... because their might possibly be other people out there that are having trouble...
-
It was actually... you said what I was doing was not needed but "it's your money" lol that's passive aggressive ... it's funny that you say that when you made assumptions in your post... "most people won't have a problem" "vitamins are pretty much all the same" you're not a doctor maybe it's best to leave these statements for them.. It wasn't my expectation that everyone agree with me.. it's fine that YOUR experience is that centrum worked for you but you grouped everyone together by saying ""most people" .. I don't fit Into that and I have a friend as well having trouble after surgery and hers was a year before mine... so I posted it for the people that aren't in your "most people" that ARE having trouble.. just another way to do something .. I was just offering my experience and something I did that helped ME ...
-
I think it's situational... so "most people" may or may not have trouble... I think we should only speak on what works for ourselves and not group people together... I've had problems with it... so I was just offering my experience... and it has worked for me... but thank you for your passive aggressive comment... I thought this was a place where we could openly share what works for us and what doesn't to offer others help... Also.... not all vitamins are the same actually... the body does not break down them all the same, and some have things in them that are not needed for the body.. they have extra "fillers" and such... like gummies are not good for Bariatric patients... also... upon researching I actually found that liquid vitamins have an absorption rate of 70-95% vs 10-20% in pill form... Vitamins in liquid form bypass the digestive process and are absorbed directly into the bloodstream, also come without a lot of the extra "fillers" and "binders" I was merely stated what worked for ME and offering help to anyone else that may have had trouble like ME...

So I had the worst time taking vitamins! I kept being told over and over again... so I started researching ways to take vitamins other than pills (never been good at pills) and gummys(which my doc said NOT to do) and came across liquid or iv. Iv is way to expensive for my ass! So in looking into liquid I came across the Tespo... it's kinda like a Keurig for vitamins... it mixes a powder with water for a shot glass of vitamins... they have a Bariatric bundle pack...you take Bariatric in morning and evening and woman's complete midday.. woman's complete tastes like tang and the Bariatric is a more bitter version of tang... my surgeon said I do have to add more *Iron and more *calcium .. but otherwise he approved ... they have great costumer service and offer discounts for autoship and bundle ( they do men's and children pods) you ship that pods back as well (so more green) 30 day money back guarantee (except for shipping). This has worked out for me quite well ... if you are having trouble I would suggest trying it... if you use this link it should give you $50 off your machine... http://email.getambassador.com/wf/click?upn=p8NrP1JTv-2B4itFDE9JRk7GlIskG0HYnQkVgPXJZbZ1uoXZ6IPT2khyw1VuuN6hN9_7u59zRi-2BQ30MBnU-2FzL3RTycgDjmMdnwvSFPFtOr298WWblfd4P454E11fxdgX-2BE7P86oZ-2BhmZZJ05lf0jFHqORVz0RhbmuTXiICfCmoTlywz0kQlpATdLamradnABk-2BrTt5OdYH-2BlgCQ5T7nhcwyB35xFWe5VqNqRlvX93taFEChWfkf-2FRv3uQMTOr4YP7JDnyDSEqT-2BVKMJI77FoIQNnK90-2F4VbgS1-2BbkwFW3RUyh-2FfZPGJB-2FOjkrDjAzNkgAXl9ZT8n1yrfNTcGhzfQ95SPZMWE95wDuti7oZyJaeaP8k-3D I can answer any questions you may have!

I have literally been sick since surgery (12/23) I had dropped 12lbs but I felt like I couldn't be happy about it because I just felt so bad... with every swallow of ANYTHING ... after reading some things on here I switched to bone broths because they offer a lot more Protein and different flavors, and that seemed to help some but what really changed it around for me! Is when my friend suggested I went to drip doctors and see if I could get an IV .. so I went I passed on the IV but I got some Vitamin shots (because I have not been able to take the chewable ones) and literally changed the rest of my day and how I was feeling! I finally felt some relief ! And was able to get two Protein shakes in today instead of just half for a whole day!! Totally recommend people researching this in your area!
