Has anyone tried Tespo? They mix into a drink.

I’m currently using Tespo. The machine mixes the Vitamins with Water in a little cup. With the Bariatric vitamins you have two bariatric pods, and one women’s Multivitamin pod. They also give you a travel dispenser, which I take to work with me (one pod three times a day spread out). If you prefer you can use the travel dispenser to mix the powder with another beverage.

It tastes ok. The multivitamin is pretty tasty, but the bariatric “shot” is a lot less tasty. I’m still pre-op so I take it like an actual shot (it’s only like 1 or 2oz). But I’m guessing that will charge after surgery. The machine is kind of ridiculous. There a coupons to get it for $50, which isn’t too bad, but the machine is the size of a coffee maker. It will not likely survive my next move, but the travel dispenser should suffice. I can’t imagine why a person without bariatric surgery would opt for it, but it serves my purpose well enough.

I just started using it last week; I'm pre-op and I’m just trying to build up my Vitamin intake. I like it!

Agreed. I have not had my surgery yet, which is why I don’t mind taking the Tespo Vitamins, now.

After newmebithebypass responded, I checked the recommended dosages and Tespo's nutrition label. It looks like it's Iron, Folic Acid, Thiamine, Copper and Calcium content are all below the recommended guidelines, at least for gastric sleeve.

I'll be making use of their 30-day return policy.

Ive been using the Tespo system because I can't take the way regular Vitamins smell or mess with my stomach. It has served me well and my bloodwork from my last Drs Apt came back great

I saw the Tespo on Amazon and really want to try it! My Vitamin poweder tastes so terrible and i am not that great at remembering to take them, is the flavor pretty decent? They are a tad bit expensive.

It looks great but the Calcium wasn’t citrate (the one we need) and the levels of critical Vitamins are too low. You’d end up needing to use more pods. $$$.

Agreed. This loud machine and it’s pods are gimmicks and it’s not worth the money I’ve paid over the last two months, because I’ve had to take and pay for additional Vitamin D and Calcium.
