Anyone Start Taking Full-Sized Vitamins Again?



Recommended Posts

I'm 7.5 months post-op and have been taking Vitamins in the form of 3 tiny capsules each day. I gagged on the chewables and the thought of the liquid stuff makes we want to gag.

While I seem to be doing ok with the 3 tiny capsules, they smell and taste terrible. Since I've be able to take other larger pills without a problem, I was thinking of going back to taking full-sized centrums again.

Anyone else go back to full-sized vitamins?

I switched from chewables to regular Vitamins at 6 weeks. I couldn't stand the taste any more. My dr was fine with it and I've not experienced any issues. Even the calcium citrate pills which are massive are not an issue.

I had my sleeve 12/16/13. I started taking a food based organic multi Vitamin with Iron about 6 weeks ago. The brand is Supernutrition SimplyOne. I can't remember where I heard that food based Vitamins were better. I paid $14.00 for a month supply. I take calcium chews (2 per day not the recommended 3 because they are expensive). The vitamin is a large-ish tablet but I have no problems getting it down, sort of has a alfalfa type smell so the smell is not offensive. I like the fact that I get my entire dose in one pill.
