BariSlim Complete Chewable Bariatric Multivitamin Tablets - 45 mg Iron Bariatric Vitamin & Supplement for Post Bariatric Surgery Including Gastric Bypass & Sleeve - Delicious & Convenient | Orange

Love mixed berry. For the love of God do not buy strawberry!

With the other brand nestle, I had to chew 4 tablets a day. It was chalky. Didn't like the taste at all!Bari Slim is 3 times a day.The taste reminds me of one of my old school sweet tart candies, with a bit of after taste. No complaints here, it is....what It is!I will say this, make sure you take these vitamins while your eating.Never take it on a empty stomach without eating.Never take it after your meal, because you just forgot.The reason why.....is because these vitamins seem more potent and concentrated.I've taken it on a empty stomach without eating ( by accident).And taken it after a meal ( because I forgot), I got such a nauseated feeling. I quickly had to eat something.I would purchase these vitamins again.

Taste is awful

Taste is a little odd until you get used to taking. Also big doses on most of the vitamins, thats a plus!!

I had gastric bypass in 2008 and only took the special chewable vitamins recommended by my doctor for a year or so. They were expensive and hard to find at that time. I've only taken regular vitamins since. But I am anemic, so something isn't working there. Back to chewable pills. I bought these because they were a decent price, quick delivery, and average reviews. I have only had one dose of those so far and I am already worried I won't be able to deal with the chalkiness that lingers. I will give it a try and see. Today I took one this morning and will take another later. Maybe not having all 3 at one time would be good.UPDATED - after spending a lot of time trying to find a different chewable multivitamin with iron, I was not having a lot of luck. So, I decided to try a different flavor. The mixed berry is better overall, but still, this is like eating chalk. (at least I assume. I've never actually eaten any). For what it is, this is a decent flavor and much needed for me and my health. So I will keep using it unless I ever find something better.

Started using the product 10 years after my bariatric surgery, as I could never find an all-in-one chewable vitamin that met my specific needs post Rue-n-Y bypass. With this product, I was able to eliminate four other supplements my doctor had me on. Very easy to use and remember.Do check with your physician BEFORE starting this vitamin regime. I copied the label off the bottle and brought to a follow-up appointment for him to look at to be sure it met my needs. It does!

This chewable tastes sweet & that may not be an issue for many people. However in my case, my bariatric surgeon did warn me that some people develop an aversion to the taste of sweet after the surgery & I turned out to be one of those people. Also, I have an even bigger aversion to artificial sweeteners which this has. You may like it. It's a good product. But if you become like me after surgery, then you'll know what I'm talking about.

I tried these because of the reviews I read, especially the one that said they taste like smarties. They really do! They are easy to chew and not chalky in my opinion. Recent bloodwork came back great so they are doing the job I expected them to do. Plus there is no soy in these like other bariatric vitamins.
