Has anyone had a negative experience with taking a non chewable (centrum like) Vitamin?

My doctor suggested I used the chewablies. Not soooooo bad.

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

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!

Both my surgeon and nutritionist told me to take 2 Flintstones chewables with Iron every day. So far, so good.:D

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.

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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
