Bariatric Advantage Vitamins

[GingerSlim 128]

My NUT recommended getting Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamins because I would only need to take 1 per day (in addition to Calcium citrate). Does anyone have experience with this brand that they can share?

And how is the taste compared to other chewable Vitamins?

I take Bariatric Advantage - my doc prescribes 2 per day. The taste is bad at first, but I've gotten used to it - at first they were very bitter. Also, I cannot take them on an empty stomach - I tried again today and felt really sick to my stomach and a little dizzy. If I take it with a shake or a meal, no issues.

Are they similar to Tums? Or more sour tasting?

I take Bariatric Advantage multi w Iron is a cap 3/day and Calcium (wild cherry chewable) 3/day. The calcium tastes great. Not sure why so many Docs recommend chewable. That said I'm looking to switch as takng 6 times per day is a pita.

I take the Bariatric Advantage Multi Capsules, 3 a day. I started these once I started eating solid food and haven't had any issues, except I have to take them with food or I get nauseous. My doc and nutritionist both said there is no reason for a chewable once you are on solid food, so I happily obliged as I hated all the chewables I tried.

I haven't started them yet, but my friend takes the Celebrate chewable brand and says the chocolate and carmel are good.

@@GingerSlim - at first I found them more sour than a Tums. More like bitter. As I kept taking them, I got over that bitterness. Now, I hardly notice it at all. I've gotten used to them now.
