Vitamins

Hi everyone! I have a couple of questions: I need to purchase a mulitvitamin and Calcium +d. What chewable & gummi brands are tolerable? I was leaning towards Viactiv chocolate chewable Calcium, but read somewhere where they get stale quick. Any advice? I'm not trying to buy Bariactric advantage products, to expensive.

Second question: I brought Gas X strips, but has anyone tried the chewable Gas X, if so was it ok or nasty tasting?

Third question: ( I thought it was only going to be 2 questions) I have to crush up my other medications after surgery, so any suggestions on what to mix them in besides applesauce?

I'm taken Centrum chewable vitamins. They only come in orange but a lot cheaper than the bariatric Vitamins. Did your doctor tell you that you could crush your pills? No one told me to crush mine and I think that they are getting stuck in my chest and that is why my heart burn is so bad. I was talking to my friend and she told me that when her mother was in the nursing home they crushed her meds and would put them in any thing soft, such as pudding, yogurt and Soups and so on.

Thank you for info on Vitamins. Crushing my pills were in the instructions I had received. I had to call my pharmacy to see which pills I can crush.

I am taking the Vitamins and Calcium chewables from BJ's Wholesale they were cheaper, and aren't too bad. The Viactiv chews do go stale so be careful. also don't take both together as your body can only absorb so much calcium so I do the Vitamin in AM and Calcium PM. I was also told to crush my pills after the banding.
