Has anyone tried either the capsule or powder form of this product? It is not overly cheap but it seems like it takes away a ALOT of the remembering to take several different supplements every day at different times. My Nutritionist recommended it starting as soon as I have my procedure. I just wanted to see if anyone had any real life experience with it and what your opinions were. Thanks.

Yes. I tried the Bari Life Cherry Berry powdered vitamin with iron and, as expected, it tasted exactly like you would expect a multi vitamin with iron to taste while you drink it down.  I drank it quickly and followed it with a small taste (1/2 tsp) of hummus afterwards to remove the taste from my mouth. I also tried the Bariatric Advantage chewable vitamin in pineapple strawberry. On the whole, I preferred the powdered vitamin..it was vile, but it was over quickly. The chewables were nauseatingly sweet post op and having to chew them made the taste last longer.  I should note that the chewable tasted somewhat ok pre-op, but post-op, is a different story. Many people experience changes in their tasting experiences. For me, cutting out sugar 100% resulted in these chewables being something that made me gag. YMMV!
