I am 7 weeks out - I am taking all normal vitamins/meds. I do have to break some meds into two so they go down easier.

I take calcium citrate in tablet form, Iron in capsule form, acid reducer in capsule form and Bariatric Advantage multi Vitamin in capsule form. Been swallowing capsules since I was in the hospital.

I started taking regular Vitamins about 6 weeks out. Have you tried Flintstones chewables ? That is what my doctor recommends right after surgery.

R they hard 2 swallow

Nope not at all..but one day at about two and a half weeks out I forgot I was sleeved and popped five pills (two multi Vitamin, two Calcium, and my acid reducer) all at once and had kind of an OSM as they were going down.. but nothing happened, I didn't even feel them. The biggest pills are the calcium citrate.. I take the "petite" size which are only petite, when compared to the regular size "horse pill" calcium supplements. The Multivitamin capsules from Bariatric Advantage are smaller than my acid reducer or the antibiotic capsule I was prescribed after surgery.

I take the Flinstones chewables.. It works well I take mine and my son takes his! He thinks its funny that his old mom is taking the same vitamins!! Lol. I also take the solutabs of Prevacid and a B12. Thru actually taste good.. Cherry flavor!! :-) the only actual pill I take and I've been taking since the day I came home from the hospital is my synthroid. But it's a very small pill.

      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.
