My Vitamins Taste Better Than Yours
Let’s talk about something we all know but don’t always admit: if your vitamins taste gross, you’re probably not going to take them. And if you don’t take them, they don’t work. Simple, right?
So why are so many bariatric patients forcing themselves to swallow giant chalky pills that they hate? Friends, I’m here to save you from the daily vitamin struggle — because I promise, my vitamins taste better than yours.
The Bariatric Vitamin Dilemma
If you’ve had bariatric surgery (or you’re getting ready for it), you already know vitamins are non-negotiable. Surgery changes the way your body processes food and nutrients. That means you need daily support to prevent deficiencies.
The problem? After surgery, your digestion is different. Your stomach is smaller. Your tolerance for big pills is almost non-existent. And yet, so many patients are told, “Just take this giant multivitamin twice a day.”
Newsflash: no one enjoys gagging on horse-sized pills when they’ve just had stomach surgery.
Why Taste (and Chewing) Matter
Here’s the science bit (you know I can’t resist): digestion doesn’t start in your stomach — it starts in your mouth.
When you chew, you’re not just breaking food down mechanically. Your saliva is packed with enzymes that kick off the digestion process. Chewing literally tells your body, “Hey, nutrients are coming!” and prepares your whole digestive system to absorb them better.
So when you chew a vitamin — or take one in a form you actually enjoy, like a gummy — you’re helping your body:
- Start digestion earlier
- Assimilate nutrients more effectively
- Absorb what you need without stress
And for bariatric patients, who already face unique digestive challenges, this step is gold.
Enter: Bariatric Expert Gummies
This is why I recommend my Bariatric Expert line of vitamins — especially our delicious gummies.
They’re:
- Easy to chew (no scary pills)
- Great tasting (seriously, you’ll want more)
- Formulated for bariatric patients (we’re not just slapping “gummy” on a regular vitamin — these are designed for YOU)
No more “ugh, I forgot my vitamin” excuses. You’ll actually look forward to taking them.

Compliance is Everything
Here’s the thing: the best vitamin in the world is useless if it sits in your cupboard. Post-surgery, your long-term health and success depend on consistency.
If your vitamins are tasty, fun, and easy to take — guess what? You’ll actually take them. And when you take them every day, you stay nourished, energized, and on track with your bariatric journey.
This isn’t just about compliance. It’s about making life after surgery a little bit easier, and dare I say… enjoyable.
The Sheri Truth Bomb
I’ve been working with bariatric patients for years. I’ve seen the frustration. I’ve seen the excuses. And I’ve also seen the transformation when people switch to a product they like.
When vitamins stop being a chore and start being something you look forward to, everything changes. You feel better. You stay consistent. You get results.
So go ahead — ditch the giant pills. Give yourself permission to enjoy your vitamins. Because yes, they can (and should) taste amazing.
Final Word: Taste Your Health
Taking your vitamins isn’t about punishment. It’s about giving your body what it needs to thrive. And when they taste this good, you’ll never forget them again.
So next time someone complains about their chalky multivitamin, smile and tell them:
“My vitamins taste better than yours.”
