OMG Horrible
I got my vitamins through Baratric Advantage and so far the ones I got are about to gag me. I can hardly stand to chew them. The ones I'm having a hard time with are the Multi vitamin and the Calcium. I know now that I should have gotten the "chewy" calicum. The ones that I have tried are much better and actually I thought that was what I was getting when I talked to the guy over the phone. I had no clue what all to get and he was "supposed" to know what I needed by me telling him the procedure I was having. Can anyone recommend a better chewable multi vitamin and maybe one that isn't so expensive?
Centrum Silver 50+, but most pharmacies have the same store brand version, I know Walgreens does, that would be your best bet. They have both chewable and pills you can swallow. Are you unable to swallow pills? Calcium wise I have liked Bariatric Advantage Chewy bites Caramel (the 500mg ones, not the 250mg) and you only need 3 a day minimum for 1,500mg. They are pricey though which is why I switched to ones that I can swallow instead, I buy Celebrates calcium.

Always try to get samples before you buy. Most bariatric suppliers offer them.
BA may offer you a refund. Check the website to see the various types of supplements they have and the type of procedure they are for. The Calcium chewy bites are quite good. I use the chocolate and caramel as my daily treats.
You might also try the Celebrate brand.
Next time, use a less hysterical heading please. It leads people to believe something is seriously ailing you, not just that a vitamin tasted bad to you. It detracts from posts where people need serious help. Thanks.

All of mine except B-12, A and D are from Celebrate and my husband and I love them. LOVE them! He buys mostly orange, I buy mostly grape. There are other flavors, too. You can get a sample pack for 2 or 3$ and try them before you buy whole bottles.
