For size comparison, each tablet is the size of a Centrum multi (read semi-horse pill, lol). Can I still take it as it does provide an excellent source of nutrients. And yes, O.N. does have an Opti-Women formula.

I currently take a rather large horse pill Vitamin too. It doesn't bother me at all - however at first it did. In time you will once again be able to take your Vitamin pills. For the first few months I took my Vitamins in chewable form. Don't NOT take them, find them in a more post op friendly form.

GL!!!

Have you had any luck crushing a multi this large? I know it tastes like chalk but they have so many good things in them that I feel I'll need them post-surgery more than any other time in my life!

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,282]

Yes I have crushed Vitamin pills in the past. The taste is gawd awful but didn't hurt me at all. I found a pill crusher that doesn't turn it to dust, more like itty bitty crumbs. It will have a perforated inside, see if you might be able to find some like that. My advice if you'll do it like that is, down it fast!!!

I found a MULTI liquid Vitamin and took it in to my NUT and she had issue with the herbals in it so it was a no go.

I currently take Centrum multis and my Calcium pills are about the same size. With my multi I also take my other supplements (B complex, zinc, Biotin, lysine and flaxseed oil) without any problems.
