Is anyone taking probiotics?

I've read that taking probiotics increases your chance of losing more weight after WLS. So I spent $30 on a bottle of probiotic powder that is the most gag-worthy thing I've put in my mouth since my surgery. Honestly, it's really the only thing that's made me want to just puke. Even mixed with a little bit of protein shake, I just can't make myself swallow it.

Has anyone tried any probiotics that don't gag you? Please tell me about your experience.

I had heard that too.  Can you get the yogurt that has it in it?  Maybe there is a pill?  I hate most liquid supplements.  Orange flavored Liquid calcium...!!!

I got a blueberry flavored chewable that I take 3x a day.  It was only about 8 dollars for 100 tablets.  You have to keep them refrigerated after they are opened.

I haven't started taking it yet but am thinking about it.  It's going to have to be something that is not a nasty liquid or another pill to chew or swallow. 

I might try the yogurt or the probiotic granola first.
