Bari LifeComplete Bariatric Multivitamin with Iron - Dietary Supplement Powder Mix, Calcium Citrate, Multivitamin, Iron - Bariatric Vitamins for Gastric Sleeve Patients (Watermelon, 60 Servings)

I had sleeve surgery and I needed to get my vitamins in. My dietitian suggested this brand, the taste was OK I think the issue was me, and the vitamin made me gag. the taste is very watermelon-ish I will admit!I just think it was me just not being able to tolerate a lot of all these vitamins!

I have been using these vitamins for several years. My favorite was the lemonade but it seems they are no longer available. Now, with my last purchase of the watermelon, it seems the vitamins have been reformulated. The taste is different, the color quickly turns from pink to an unappealing brown when stirred and they are much grittier tasting than before. It seems that less of the mixture dissolves and it tastes like fine grit as you drink them. I have always had good results with this type of vitamins and have never had any deficiencies, but I don't know if I can make myself drink them. I'm not sure what changed, but they are different.

The product arrived in good condition and quickly. I have used this before and you receive a good size for the price. It tastes good, does not upset my stomach, and is effective. Will continue to order.

Not the best tasting

I have been using this product for years and now I am pleased I can get it here on Amazon.

I was excited to try this one cause most of the bariatric vitamins I’ve tried have tasted awful or made me feel nauseous. I’ve only tried this product a couple of times now with just water and it’s definitely not the best. The flavor is a bit off and no matter how well I mix it up it always tastes grainy and chalky. I’ll definitely have to try it with juice cause this was a waste of money.

So I did my research and I chose the powder over taking multiple pills a day, not to mention having to remember and stair step those pills. With the powder you get all your daily vitamins at once.I had a Gastric Sleeve, and this says to take twice a day.So I take 1 scoop in the morning the other in the evening.I'm not going to lie. at first it tasted off to me, but that's because my taste buds had changed from the surgery.Even after nearly taking this for a month...it is a very odd taste. It's like a watermelon/lemony flavoring which would be so bad if the vitamins didn't give it a chalky texture.I entirely recommend stirring really well. When it's a milky pink, drink it.Now when you first get out of surgery you're not going to be able to down 8oz of water easily. In fact it's going to be a challenge.If you are struggling to drink your water, I most definitely recommend RESTIRRING your drink. Otherwise the vitamins will settle at the bottom and stick to your cup and trying to down that powder itself is NOT very pleasant, nearly gagged taking mouth full of powder.I have not tried mixing the powder into a juice or a protein shake. I've only mixed it with water.Overall, great product will be using again

The taste is absolutely awful. I tried taking it a few times and it's impossible to mask the flavor.
