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!

How about the Viactive Chews for Calcium? I also started those pre-op but have been scared to take them since surgery.

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!

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.

I use a Gummy multi I got a costco, also a children's gummy omegas. They are like a little treat.

I take gummies also, I'm almost out of them though ( I'm only 8 days post op). But I ha ent had the sugar in so long that they are sickeningly sweet now :/ guess I need to find some decent chewables

What about using a pill crusher, put it in a spoonful of applesauce and pop it down?

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
