Ready To Ditch The Chewables

[jenneliza 257]

At 3 months post op I am so sick of nasty chewable vitamins. I did switch to gummy vitamins but I'm so ready to go back to regular vits and add my hair skin and nail back. Can these get stuck? Has anyone gone back to whole pills? When? And how did it go?

Thanks

I am sure they get tiring eating the Vitamins and they are so freaking huge. That's what got me. I haven't had my surgery yet. But they gave me the bit and cal to start taking and I got some Biotin to start taking now

My surgeon says we can't have gummies ever. I'll be 3 months on the 25th and I am sick of chewables! So sick sick sick! On my 3 month post appt I want to ask about whole pills.

I've been swallowing whole pills since the surgery.

I was told that when i switched to and could tolerate "normal" foods I could take pills. That was about 2 months for me. I,ve not had any problems yet.

Do you know if we can absorb the regular pills enough?

[Jerrie Ann 57]

I do. No problems with absorption at all. Easier on my pouch since I am not dumping all the time.

I went from chewables to regular at 6 weeks.

I could not tolerate whole pills not matter how small right after surgery, I had to grind up everything !!! I am 6 months post op today and I am slowly going back to swollowing whole pills now for about a month. My only advise is to take it slow, start with the smaller whole pills first then work your way up to the larger size pills.

Well crap! I am 33 days post op for rny. I couldnt tolerate any hard pills so i stopped taking them all together 2 weeks ago. I just ordered a ton of chewables and was super excited to recieve them. But now u guys r saying u hate those too. Sounds like a no win situation to me.

I have no problem with the chewables Vitamins, they are good. My problem is some of my other medications that I'm crushing...gag me.
