How do you take the vitamins?

So since I already have a month post op I can start drinking the Vitamins the doctor told me but they are HUUUGE, can i drink the whole pill at once? Or do i have to cut it? What size more or less? Im afraid it will get stuck in my stomach or something! Should i get chewables next time?

Initially I was on a Centrum chewable. But two months out now, I've switched to a prenatal (I'm not pregnant, but my NUT recommended either one pre-natal or two normal Vitamins, so I opted for one pill rather than two). The prenatal Vitamin is huge. I swallow it fine. But I was on the chewables for months before my surgery and about 6 weeks after it. If you are worried, get a Flintstones kids chewable vitamin!

I can't stand the taste of chewable vits. I've never had a problem swallowing pills. Even the nite after surgery, the nurse gave me what she couldn't give me in liquid form, in pill form. I was fine with it.

Good luck to u!
