AvaFern 3,516 Posted December 13, 2015 Nope. I am over 2 years out now, but I never had any issues. For the first 6-8 weeks after sugery I believe they generally suggest you avoid taking larger pills, but I would discuss that with your doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperDave 1,115 Posted December 13, 2015 I did have some problems for a few months after surgery. I either used chewables or crushed everything and mixed it with hot sauce (Tabasco) to cover the taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Kate_ 2,224 Posted December 13, 2015 I am still on chewable Vitamins but my other tablets re quite small and have never been an issue. I stuck to the suggested 3 months of not taking tablets, rather liquids or ones that melt in the mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted December 13, 2015 The only one I had trouble with was the Bariatric AE Multi-Vitamin which would choke a horse. I cut them in fours and tried to mash it up in cinnamon applesauce, but the bitter taste made me puke. So, I ended up switching to a Walgreen's Women's Over 50 multi and take two instead of one. Some folks have even taken Flintstones chewables until they got past this hurdle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted December 13, 2015 No. I've been taking my supplements and medications in capsule and tablet form since 2 weeks postop with no problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
