I am 3 weeks post sleeve and have just started taking my Vitamins. I bought the fusion chewable vitamins because I thought it was all in one. I did not know that I had to chew one 4x a day! They are nasty! I only bought two bottles so I guess I have 240 to get down. Has anyone dissolved them in Water to drink them ? I wonder if this would be ok. My nutrionist totally mislead me on this one! How do you get 4 a day down?

I have the optisource chewable Vitamins, they are very chalky and when I chew they paste up in my teeth :P I've been crushing them in a pills crusher, and I find they dissolve a little better in my mouth that way. I put in a medicine cup and "tap" a little in my mouth at a time, and chase it with Water.

Thank you. I emailed the company and returned the Vitamins. They were really nice and are refunding me my money. I checked with my doctor and am taking Vitamins I can swallow. It seems like a lot of pills but it's way better than putting up with the chalky , smelly ones. I just couldn't cope.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
