I was wondering if any of my fellow sleevers has ever used liquid vitamins. I am getting sick of those LARGE chalky chewables. I am trying to be faithful about the vitamins, but I really dread the chalky ones...any suggestions?

My doctor gave me capsules to take starting 2 weeks after surgery.  I believe they are from WLSvitamins.com.  I am just shy of 2 months out and have had no problems with the vitamins.  I take a multivitamin for WLS, vitamin D, and a sub-lingual B12.  I take all of mine in the morning.

I bought some of the highly rated ones off Amazon, the liquid multi-vitamin, the liquid calcium citrate, and they were absolutely vile. I found it was just easier to deal with the multi-vitamin from costco and citri-cal.

I used the liquid vitamins for a while, they were fine for me. I switched to Trader Joe's High Potency Chewables -- they are very mild tasting, cheap, low calorie, and low carb. But if you want a different option, you might check out patch vitamins (patchmd.com). I know a lot of people who are using them and having great results -- no worry about taste or consistency, plus great lab results.

Thanks, I had seen ads for the patch but I wasn't sure how effective they were.

I switched to the patch after numerous people here (that I trust) reported back after using them for 6+ months and having good lab work results.  I'll have 2nd year labs in February, so it'll be interesting to see what the results are.  

The ASMBS says you only need chewables for 3-6 months, so if you're farther out than that, you can switch to regular pills.
