It wasn't easy for me. I had to start using the Vitamin Patch.

How many and what all are you taking? Is it because you're having difficulty swallowing or getting Water down?

I might have to do that for now

I have the chewable Multivitamin, b1, beta carotene, Biotin, omeprazole, ursodiol, and my thyroid meds. Need to figure out a timing schedule for when to take what

Has your NUT/Team suggested you take all that 3 days post op?

My own opinion is that if you can get the multi Vitamin down after a week then the other vitamin stuff can wait. Is the omeprazol taken sublingually? Mine was.. Also your thyroid meds can be taken sublingually (I take Erfa Thyroid) but even so they are tiny tablets to take. My Calcium tablets were chewable too.

Maybe a call to your GP to see what other options are open to you for a short time. Good luck and congrats on the surgery. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I know the feeling. I had to take almost the same exact ones as you 1 week post op. The multi Vitamin chewables and the ursodiol were the worst for me.

Maybe ask your surgeon if you can switch to something else that might make you feel better. I was allowed Gummy vites after a month since i was having trouble with the chewable. Currently i'm doing gummy multi and chewable bariatric calcium/d3 gummies, but going to start using the Patches soon as my stomach does not like pills after surgery. Chewable OR swallowed.

Good luck, experiment, and hopefully you will find something you can easily take and tolerate.
