Taking whole pills

[fatinthehead 8]

I had surgery on April 24th and I am now able to eat regular food with no problems. I am having a hard time with finding multi Vitamin that I can tolerate the taste I really would like to just swallow it and get it over with.... Is anyone able to handle pills? ??

There is a liquid multi vitamin at costco and it's pretty good. Kind of like a Gatorade flavor. It comes with a 30 day supply and a bottle for like 20 bucks.

Does the doctor write a prescription for the bariatric Vitamins or should I order some before surgery?

I just used children's chewables post-surgery (two daily, even though the directions are for one daily. He believes more is better) Flintstones are actually better tasting, but these were on sale =P

I hated Centrum chewables (that fake orange flavor...blech) I can't wait until I just swallow a pill...but I'm already swallowing Iron and b-complex, so I don't want to overburden my sleeve with non-chewables. Yet.

I take the Trader Joe's High Potency chewables and they taste fine - mild with a slight citrus tang. I can't handle swallowing big pills like multi-vitamins since my sleeve, though I know a fair number of people who can. It's an individual thing.

I had trouble with chewables. They just tasted too much like chalk. The horse pills weren't something I could handle even before surgery.

Last week someone told me about Gummy Vitamins. They are amazing and taste great. My only concern with them is the sugar content. 3 grams per serving, but I have to weigh that against not taking a Vitamin.

I could not handle any of the chewables. They were all too sweet for me. My nutritionist suggested I take Materna Vitamins. Yup the ones for when you are pregnant! They are not too large and go down easily. Much, much better.

I started taking Centrum complete at around two months out.
