lilmispcl 298 Posted April 12, 2013 Anyone take gummy vitamins right after surgery? I can't stand the chewable powdery ones ... bluchhh! Scared the gummies will get stuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandymoo13 111 Posted April 12, 2013 Hey there, hope you are doing well! I have been taking a Gummy Vitamin (for 5 days now) every morning and 1 kid's Flintstone vitamin. I just chew, chew, chew the heck out of them! 1 lilmispcl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilmispcl 298 Posted April 12, 2013 How about the Viactive Chews for Calcium? I also started those pre-op but have been scared to take them since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandymoo13 111 Posted April 12, 2013 hmm, not sure. I am not sure if they are available here in Canada. If you can chew up a pill (painkiller), I should think any vitawmins should be fine. But that is only my opinion- a very unprofessional one at that! 1 lilmispcl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiny1234 121 Posted April 12, 2013 How about the Viactive Chews for Calcium? I also started those pre-op but have been scared to take them since surgery. I've seen those calcium chews at Walmart (Ontario Canada), so I don't think you'll have any problems finding them. Wait, you were wondering if you can take them? They're chewable so I think you'd be ok, just make sure you've chewed the bejesus out of them before you swallow. 1 Mandymoo13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sapcat54 76 Posted April 12, 2013 I use a Gummy multi I got a costco, also a children's gummy omegas. They are like a little treat. 1 Mandymoo13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kitt3000 757 Posted April 12, 2013 What about using a pill crusher, put it in a spoonful of applesauce and pop it down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bandedlove 10 Posted April 13, 2013 My nutritionist told us not to use the gummy vitamins because they are missing a key vitamin...she recommended the chewable vitamins, like Centrum or Flintstones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
