Hi all!

I am 6 weeks post op and am having serious troubles with the chewable viatmins. They taste terrible and I don't know how much longer I can handle it. Does anyone know when I can start taking Vitamin pills? I am allowed to take my meds in pills form, but I wasn't sure about the Vitamins.< /p>

Thanks for your help!!

Nora-I feel your pain on the chewables. I actually vomited for the first time today within 2 minutes of my Calcium chewables. I took them too fast to get it over and done with and paid for it. I'm going back to the Gummy version I had pre-op and just chewing like crazy. But you might want to try that route if you can't do pills.< /p>

I used to take my 6 year old multi vitamins.. They were prescribed by her pediatrician.. They taste like hell.. Lol yesterday I brought flintstone with Iron .. They are peach, grape, cherry, and orange flavored... So far I have taste peach and grape.. I just hate the chalky after taste. They really did give me a energy boost.. I been feeling like blah the pass few days and these helped.. I'm going to ask my doctor can I switch to gummies on my next doctors appt .. Hope I helped

I tried and tried to deal with the Bariatric Advantage chewables but the taste just made me gag. Tried Centrum and they were also vile. I eventually gave up and bought gummy vitamins :P

As soon as I could eat regular food I went back to my regular Vitamins and didn't have a bit of trouble. And mind you, I take 6 solid Vitamin pills. Good luck. If anything I would try one and see?

I'm ten days out and I only use pills, no chewables. Your stomach is fine to absorb them. (:

Just take a break between different pills. Don't stack them up in your sleeve.

      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.
