Hi everyone! Does anyone have any suggestions on Multivitamins that are not chewable ? Yuuuucckk my doctor reccomended "optisource" and its 4x a day citrus chewable and with that i wouldnt need any other Vitamins. Thing is, i absolutely hateeeeee chewables and the after taste is horrid ! And it seriously makes me gag ! Any suggestions ?

I suck on them a while before chewing them. It helps with the texture. I was on them about a week before my surgery because I didn't want to buy a big bottle of multi's that close to surgery.

I had a hard time eating them at first too, it gets better. I would eat one half drink drink drink then the other half drink drink drink. Hang in there they r very important.

I like Celebrate chewable multi. Their new one is more like a starburst. You could probably get a free sample if you emailed the company.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
