Hate chewable multivitamins!

I detest the "chewables." I've bought several swallows but they are to big. Any suggestions?

I like the bariatic Multivitamin that I got from the Vitamin store. It actually tastes okay. It is Twinlab Bariatric Support chewable Multi: berry flavor.

liquid Vitamins.. I have Centrum Multi and it's a lovely taste. A bottle lasts about a month.

Is it taste? Is it texture? What is the problem?

I ordered liquid ones from GNC and at first they tasted good but after surgery I just couldn't handle them. Felt sick every dose. I tried in powdered Protein and yogurt shakes. Still bad. Finally I started putting them in a half of strawberry premier shake and putting in blender. I spent too much money to waste the Vitamins.

I had a really hard time with Vitamins. My dietitian recommended from GNC and it tastes so good for calcium citrate (orange flavor). I also take two chewable flintstone complete Multivitamins daily.

I suggest finding Multi Vitamins that are liquid gel caps they go down easy and you don't have to taste a crappy chewable there are several varieties

All of the above. I just want to swallow at pill. It's easy.

I couldn't find any swallow pills that had high enough doses of Vitamins and were small enough to swallow. pills are the hardest thing on my sleeve right now.

I have the bariactiv Vitamins and they just melt in your mouth, the taste isn't bad, and it is better than deal will pill discomfort.

My case manager prefers us to take Centrum adult... That way you can choose between the chewables or non-chewable form. She recommended staying with the chewables until 3 months post op.... And you have to take 2 a day at least 2 hours apart and 2 hours away from the calcium citrate.

My nutritionist says you can switch to Centrum MVI. I like the Bariatric Advantage ones, that being said why can't you just swallow that one instead of chewing?

I see that has magnesium in it. Somewhere I read yesterday that mag was good for muscle aches. I have had horrible aches since surgery when I wake up in morning. I went and checked my Calcium I have taken for years and it was mainly magnesium in it. Started taking it and (hopefully it's not my imagination) I felt 10 times better this morning. Took double the amount yesterday. I called nurse yesterday to see if I could take the pills now since I'm 8 weeks out and she said yes.
