3 weeks post op bypass and just started my supplements. Curious how many pills is safe to take at one time. Would hate to get an obstruction of pills in my gut or stomach. Obviously not a lot at once but these Calcium tabs are huge! The dose calls for 2 tabs twice a day. I have no problem swallowing the pills whole (actually they feel rough and get hung going down when cut in half) but can I take 2 at a time or do I have to space out all 4 tabs throughout the day. That's hard to keep up with 5 different dosing times (5th being my Iron and Multivitamin since you can't take iron and calcium together). Just curious what everyone else does for supplement timing and how many you take at a time? :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been drinking Rockin Refuel Protein drinks. 30g protein in 12oz and it's so good! Tastes like a milk shake. I find it easy to drink, easy to go down, and did I mention 30 proteins!! I've only found them at Giant grocery store. I am not a fan of the taste of premiere Protein shakes but these are really good...a must try. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I noticed there are Patches for everything. Do you only wear the Multivitamin patch or do you do all the supplements in patches? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for the feedback. These are from bariactiv with the B12 nasal spray meant for post surgery pts...but pills are still big. I didn't like the taste of the chewables. I was thinking about the Patches but not enough evidence out there to show the absorption is as effective...or is there and I just can't find it? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
