regular pills again?



Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure my nutritionist told me that I could start taking regular sized pills at 4 weeks. Does anyone else know the answer to this? I have calcium citrate pills that I would love to take instead of the gross chewable tablets, ugh!

Thanks!

I was able to take all my meds without having to split them at about five weeks out without any problems.

I can't stand the chewable vitamins, so I switched to the "horsepill" I took before surgery and am having no problems! I'm 4 weeks out from surgery.

AWESOME! Have I mentioned today how much I love this forum. I'm ordering my supplements now for after my upcoming surgery. I was about to get a huge bottle of chewables thinking I'd need them for several months. SO GLAD I checked here first! I HATE chewables and would prefer a horesepill ANY day.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
