  • Quality absorbable form of nutrients should be used after bariatric surgery due to the absorption challenges of bariatric patients
  • Gastric Bypass (RYGB/RNY) and Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG/SG) patients are recommended to take dietary supplements as chewable or liquid in the first 1-3 months after surgery.  Gastric Band (AGB) patients should always use chewable or liquid dietary supplements.

Horrible

I really tried to like these but they are absolutely awful. I can't stomach the taste.
I will try something else maybe a non chewable. Ughhhhh!!!

Awful

These initially have a pleasant taste, but then the aftertaste is absolutely awful! I’ve tried a lot of different chewable/gummy/meltaway vitamins since my weight loss surgery in January, and these are the worst yet. If only the aftertaste didn’t exist!!
