fatinthehead 8 Posted June 20, 2014 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. 1 BeagleLover reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdillon 355 Posted June 20, 2014 Does the doctor write a prescription for the bariatric Vitamins or should I order some before surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InfiniteButterfly 438 Posted June 20, 2014 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. 1 #9grammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted June 20, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh2xh 70 Posted June 21, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fat_free 463 Posted June 21, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
