NoMoreFatGuy 61 Posted April 8, 2015 So preop I went to GNC and got "their best men's health vitamin". Started taking it preop and while disgusting tasting, it was fine. Now, I can't swallow them without gagging and choking. And that is AFTER cutting them in four pieces. These things are horse pills and I have taken to not taking them regularly because it's so difficult. Is there any good Vitamin supplement out there that's easy to swallow or is in liquid form? I am actually debating getting a grinding bowl and grinding them into powder everyday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted April 8, 2015 For the first four weeks after surgery I took Wellesse liquid multi-vitamins. I got mine from Amazon but I think you can find them at drugstores, too. I did a double dose, one in the morning, one in the evening. I had no trouble with them -- they are better kept in the fridge. You can dilute with Water or Gatorade if you want to. After four weeks, I switched to Trader Joe's High Potency chewables. They taste fine and never caused me any problems. They are also a lot cheaper, lower calorie, and lower carb than other Vitamins. I have had my labs drawn regularly and they have always been great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aranks 94 Posted April 8, 2015 My surgeon told me to take Centrum chewable (had to be the orange one) or two (2) chewable Flintstone's Vitamins. This was in addition to my sublingual b-12 and chewable Calcium citrate from the Vitamin shop, that was actually pretty rough. But chewable and liquids do exist! Eventually pills get easier.
