6 day post and I can't swallow my vitamin powder. Suggestions?

[correak 8]

My doctor has me on 4 week post liquid diet and for the first two weeks I have to take my Vitamins by powder. I've mixed with hot liquid, crystal light, juice, blended...but it don't dissolve well and I feel nausea at just the smell of it. It is the Bari-life powder mix!!! It's nasty y'all but I need my vitamins!!! Wish I could just take by IV....lol????... Suggestions????

I was allowed applesauce and sf pudding in the liquid stage.. could you maybe disguise it in a spoon of something like that? I haaaaate the smell of Vitamins so I understand lol. Good luck!

Okay don't tell the people at New Life but I chucked their nasty Vitamin powder in the trash and took a double dose of Wellesse liquid vitamins for the first eight weeks. One dose in the morning, one at night. And my labs were always stellar.

My bariatric team doesn't require powdered or liquid Vitamins.. we can swallow regular Multivitamins. I got "petite" ones that are supposed to be easier to swallow.. they still seem pretty big-- I think that was just a sham selling point lol.. but no problems in swallowing them at all.

@@correak I bought mine off Amazon, but I think you can get the same thing at CVS or Walgreens.

My Dr has me taking two Flintstone Vitamins, a children's aspirin, and chewable Calcium. As your surgeon if this, or something similar is ok.
