Vitamins just after surgery.....

How can you take a Vitamin the 1st few weeks after surgery when on liquids only?

I had surgery on 11/28 on 12/2 I was instructed to start my Vitamins. My multi Vitamin is chewable, my B12 is sublingual (dissolves under your tongue) and my calcium citrate is chewable. Just chew it up real good! Upon discharge I was told I could even have pills that were smaller than the size of a pencil eraser. My Percocets were cut in 4ths after I arrived home.

They have liquid vitamins but my surgeon didn't care that my Vitamins are chewable he just wanted me to get them in and I was ok with them. They pretty much dissolve in your mouth once chewed really well any way. Same with my Calcium and b-12 is a sublingual dot that dissolves under the tongue. If you have chewable just ask the surgeon.

Same as Aranks. At six months I was switched to Bariatri Advantage AE horsepill stinka** Vitamins that are so big I have to pulverize them and put them in applesauce or Jello Water. The last time I took one, two nights ago, it came back up. I am going back to gummies and sublingual.

I came across the JOURNEY all in one bariatric Vitamins last night. Was thinking of getting those but they don't have everything my nutritionist requires like Vitamin k etc.

My doc prescribed chewable and sublingual forms. So it was not a problem.

My Multivitamin is huge so I put it in my nutirbullet and make it into powder and put it in my Greek yogurt in the morning for Breakfast. And the rest are sublingual oh except my Calcium which seems to chew up faster and dissolve in my mouth better :-)
