Nope, just get a mouth of Water, pop them in and swallow! I then again, take pills backwards compared to most people. Haha.

See I tried the sipping with the taking the pills and got choked on them I told my surgeon I have to take a bigger drink to get them down maybe even 2

I like regular Tums for Calcium.

I also use Flintstones with Iron. They taste weird to me, but they are small and easy.

Every doc is different but my doc said in order to get the full benefit from the Vitamin you need to chew them. They might go into the sleeve okay but don't stay there long enough to be broken down and absorbed fully. I too am having a hard time with the flinstone chewables. They are so bitter and sweet. I asked my nut and doc about the gummies and they both said that gelatins are not a digestible food so you won't reep the benefits from them. Hope this helps. If anyone finds anything they think tastes good please pass it on!!!!

costco has a great prenatal Gummy Vitamin (that qualifies as a general vitamin). They're little sugar coated square shapes and they actually taste good. I take two a day. Thanks for reminding me...I'm almost out LOL

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
