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

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
