carolann0117 5 Posted January 2, 2011 My doctor suggested I used the chewablies. Not soooooo bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melzie_99 22 Posted January 2, 2011 My doc's office said no pills over the size of a dime. I bought some of the gummy vitamins (hate the taste of regular chewables) and being on this pre op diet, their sweetness is like a treat! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandyb 3 Posted January 2, 2011 you should be taking chewables.... nothing bigger than a dime! And Vitamins can be horse pills!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlynn1635 1 Posted January 2, 2011 My doc said either chewable or liquid vitamins. I started out using gummie but they didn't give me the energy I needed throughout the day. I went to Vitamin world and talked to the sales lady who just happened to be a personal trainer that has some banded clients and she recommended a vitamin called Origin Of Life Complete liquid Nutrition and believe me when I say I absolutely love this vitamin... It gives me sustainable energy, has my hair and nails growing like crazy and it taste pretty good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sun Rae 7 Posted January 2, 2011 Both my surgeon and nutritionist told me to take 2 Flintstones chewables with Iron every day. So far, so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southern Leo 0 Posted January 2, 2011 Mine too...said to use flintstones chewable twice a day. I might try the Gummy ones tho. That sounds nice having a little sweet! But they say not for 2 wks after. I wonder if it would help or matter if I started now....I feel soooo weak and can't be up long at a time! I'm on day 6.

kellyodoran 12 Posted January 4, 2011 I am at my sweet spot, and I still take full sized vitamins....only one at a time, and spaced out! I really can't afford all that, I am self pay, so rite-aid Calcium, nad one-a-day are good enough for me! I will say that the first time I got stuck and pb'ed, was by taking two Vitamins at one time....hahahahahah, now it is more about slowing down, and little bites, and chew, chew, chewing.....but anyway no probo with the regular vitamins!
