Hey Kim,
  I get my  vitamin from Dr. Pohl office.  I take them 4x a day and to me they do not taste that bad.  I hated the flintstones too.   I will put a few in a baggy and you can try them ifyou go to the meeting tonight.

ps  I know they are 25 buck a bottle but last a while. big bottle

I also take the Opti-source that they sell at Dr Pohls office. They taste like an orange creamscicle and I've never had a problem with them. I had a problem with the Flintstones post-op.
You can purchase the opti-source at walgreens.com or even purchase them at some Walgreens though I have trouble finding them.

It's so funny, I hated the Flintstones before surgery and now I kinda like em.  But I have seen that Centrum makes a chewable.  I almost bought that cos they also made  Centrum chewable for folks over 50, but I figured I would talk to Dr Pohl about it when I see him in Oct.  Not sure how the regular Centrum chewables taste....maybe someone here has tried em?

i also bought the centrum chewable ones and they said that they were not the right ones because they are not the complete vitamin that has everything.  i bought the centrum kids complete. they are not bad.

god- I soooo hear this!!!  I wanted to yak at every friggin chewable I had to take!!  Too friggin sweet and sicking!!!  I found one at Vitamin World in Warwick I looked forward to taking.  It was the gummy sour worms.  I think you might need an iron supplement with it- esp if you are bypass.  This was the only thing I could tolerate for a few months.  Now I have JUST (a few days now) started taking- only because even though I have been looking for months now- finally found the Centrums chewables- and even a CVS equivalent of them.  I can tolerate them- sweet- but not horribly.  Who knows if my tastes have changed- but I have been through so many multivitamins before I found these.  I even tried some powder that was supposed to completely dissolve into water (boy- did they lie!!!!!)

Hope you find something soon- it was a long/hard search for me!  Vitamins are sooo important!!
