emmas mom 4 Posted August 14, 2011 Hi guys! Well I am trying to figure out my post surgery diet and my husband had me reduced to tears cause he just doesnt understand! I have been taking pre-natal horse pills, Multivitamins for years. He asked why I cant take those pills after surgery. I told him i wont be able to swallow them and i would like to get chewable Vitamins. He wants me to crush the Vitamins and put them in my drink. I told him that it might not dissolve and I might not get all the fluids in and I explained once again that my stomach will be really small and i will only be able to eat a tablespoon at a time. does anyone have any suggestions on what i can say to my husband to get him to understand my point of view/ I REALLY dont want to fight with him or stress out over this. thanks!

Indymom 132 Posted August 14, 2011 I would simply show him the guidelines from your surgeon showing that they require chewable vitamins this early after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeMeMEEE 206 Posted August 14, 2011 It is soo important to take Vitamins that are designed for bariatric patients - we don't absorb some forms of important vitamins like we used to. This woman is incredibly knowledgeable http://wlsvitagarten.com/ and has so much information - she is willing to answer many questions also. I hope that helps!! Also, I suggest emailing success@celebratevitamins.com and requesting samples - they send a very nice packet for free, takes about 3 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
