The only ones I like are children's Gummy Vites. They look and taste just like Gummy Bears. Easy to take and tastes good, too. You can get them anywhere.:D

Penni - I know you wouldn't, I just had to ask again though. I took that chewable one and it had a bad taste for a long time. I even burped it all night. UGH! Don't try them even if you are out of the liquid!

Marie - Thanks, I might try those.

Ok --I have to admit that Mom was right. I bought the Vitamins today. It's a smaller, travel-size bottle, about 8 oz. I was glad to be able to sample it.

It is a very NASTY green! :D And I was ready to puke just looking at it. So I steeled myself......and it didn't taste bad and there was no aftertaste. I can't say it was enjoyable, more of a nothingness .... I was so worried about it I'm not sure if there was any taste at all.

No aftertaste, no problem. I could probably take this everyday. I think I'll close my eyes next time. :D I'll give you an update when I don't look.

ROFLMAO! You are crazy! Penni said no aftertaste too, so I am taking y'all's word on that! However I might just wait and let you taste it one more time. lol

Just don't try the tablets! They are double NASTY!

Ok Penni, I got some!!!

Today was my 4th day taking it and I DID notice a rise in my energy level. Hopefully it will continue rising! I also didnt crave food all day - like I usually do.

The taste isnt bad at all. I know alot of folks have a problem with the green color, but it has barley - and thats a BIG cancer fighter - VERY good for the body. So the green color was more of a consolaton for me then disgust.

Thanks for sharing this info.!!!

You know the green color threw me off as well at first. I just look at it as a mint julep and chug it down. LOL!!!!

The benefits far outweigh the color.

Really great product. I can also tell when I DON'T take the Vitamin. I get very sluggish.

Glad it works for you.

Has anyone tried the new "spray vitamins" by Vitamist. I was given a sample 30 day sprayer. The box says, "The Purest in the World", Women's Health. It's got all kinds of Vitamins and nutrients, including B12, "painless alternative to B12 injections" Also states this is recommended for WLS patients because of their unique patented delivery system that offers fast and highly effective absorbtion rate...100%

Here goes...eww it stinks, omg, great, 1 spray (8 times a day, that'll be a little hard to remember). Only a tiny bit of after taste, not bad at all, hmmm I'm impressed. They have a phone number 1-800-582-5273 for home delivery..probably could call and have a sample sent to you to. I'd recommend it.

Thanks for mentioning the Vitamins, I should have tried it weeks ago.

Vitamist.

Did I see you say 8 TIMES A DAY? That right there would turn me off. This liquid Vitamin I take is once a day. Works great for me. I would be concerned that the spray would discolor your teeth if you use it that often. Below is a list of what the liquid Vitamins have in it. Notice the Vitamin B-12. I can't say enough about this product.

Ok you win! I'm not Even going to try to compare the ingredients, LOL. Eight times is a lot to remember, and I had dry mouth something terrible today. Maybe the spray Vitamins, maybe not, but I think I'll give Penni's a try first.

Hey all! I wanted to add to this discussion.I am pretty picky about my multi-Vitamins. Most of the supermarkert chewables out there(flintstones, Centrum,gummy bears, Gummy balls, etc) just don't have enough in them in my opinion to be of any value. I found Source of Life chewables recently and they have alot of good stuff in them in high enough quantities to be of value. I always look for high amounts of folate(for women in reproductive years, you should be up in the 400-800mcg per day area) and of course all the other B's, etc. Most Vitamins fall short.

SInce I have been taking the source of life chewables(I take 2 instead of 1 to get more of what falls short)..I do like it..it tastes like pineapple, but does leave a lingering aftertaste..

I looked into the Source of Life liquid mentioned here...i was having a hard time finding a good complete liquid. This liquid actually looks better than the chewable version as far as the vitamin/mineral content.

In my search around the net to find a good price for Source of Life, I came across another liquid that looks even better! It is from Utrition. Vitamin Shoppe also carries it..I went through Amazon/Vitamin Shoppe and got it for $20.97 for 32oz..here is the profile. I like that it added 500mg of glucosomine for joint health.:

Here is the link directly from Vitamin Shoppe:

http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/browse/sku_detail.jhtml;$sessionid$SBECXWT0UCNQYCQUAOYCM4QKCQB00GXK?SkuID=224937&BreadCrumbType=SearchResult

It is interesting when you buy it directly from vitaminshoppe.com it is $26.21, but when I linked to Vitamin Shoppe through Amazon..it was $20.97! I was able to use my Amazon checkout so Ididn't have to re-register through VS. Anyway..I will report back on the taste and how I feel.

It does look like a good vitamin so far from the ingredients list..and hopefully will be better than the chewables.

Hi all! I actually received the Utrition liquid today and had my first dose of it and it is quite pleasant. It has a tart taste when you first sip it, butthen it is slightly sweet...almost like a splenda taste to it...no bitter after taste or anything. Very nice.

I will see if it makes a difference in how I feel after about 30 days! I will post any findings!

Hi, Patty, would you go to the introductions and tell us a little bit about yourself? I see that you've been banded for a while. I'm very interested in how you've done on your banding journey. Like what was your beginning weight, current weight, NSVs, any type of band related problems along the way. How many fills have you had? What is your current fill amount? How has your life changed since you've been banded? What things do you do now that you couldn't do preband? Anything else that you think would be helpful to new bandsters. Thanks so much!

      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.
