I bought it before my surgery and wished I had tasted it before hand. It was possibly the most foul thing I have ever tasted. I bought it on the recommendation of the Vitamin Shoppe store clerk who raved about the taste. I looks and tastes like what I can only imagine raw sewage tastes like. I had my husband taste it as well just to be sure that it wasn't my wacked out taste buds post surgery and he agreed that it was completely awful. I switched to Centrum Silver chewable tablets and they are great. They have a pretty good taste to them and haven't upset my stomach. I asked my dr about the liquid vitamins and she agreed that they are all pretty nasty. This is just my opinion but I would not waste your money on it.

I have taken the Source of Life tropical fruit liquid since November and I love the taste. I bought Bariatric Advantage chewables an the chalky taste was awful! I have a pharmacy friend who recommended Source of Life. Our 4 month lab work was perfect and now I am staying with Source of Life Liquid Gold. I compared the ingredients in the two Vitamins and the Source of Life was overwhelmingly the best!

The only Vitamin our large surgery center recommended we NOT take was Centrum Silver. I do not know why. Best wishes!

$52 and it has lasted me ?4 months. It is cheaper on Amazon maybe. I bought it local. I love the taste and I am scared of being Vitamin deficient. Good luck! Works for me.

Thats what I paid. So glad I found this! It has everything... but I'll probably still supplement Calcium and Iron.

I wrote each ingredient from this and Bariatric Advantage down and compared, and the liquid contained overwhelmingly more Vitamins. My pharmacist friend said the liquid had it all. I do take Biotin for hair too.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
