Vitamins

[Jinyinjin 34]

So I am nine days post-op and I have to take my Vitamins. Does anyone know how long until I can take a pill Vitamin? These are just terrible and make me nauseous.

Am I doing it wrong by adding it to 6 oz of Water?

If you can swallow pills you can take pills. Those chewable vitamins are digusting

I started swallowing 2 Vitamins 1 week after surgery.

If it's smaller than a m&m it's okay too swallow. But swallowing pills is hard and fulls you up fast.
They make vitamelts that melt on you tongue that taste amazing at Walmart. I'm 9 months post op and never had any trouble with my blood work.

Thank you! I will look for these. I'm not allowed to take capsules for one month so I need something until then.

I started taking Vitamin pills seven days after surgery. I've been doing that ever since with no problems.

Thanks for the information, I will definitely purchase those. I have issues now swallowing Vitamins, they always feel stuck and give me indigestion.

My surgeon said not to worry about any Vitamins the first 2 weeks, just hydration and Protein Shakes. I was told to wait a minimum of a month for any hard tablet pills and to crush them first.

Going into my 7th week after surgery and I went to taking my capsule multivitamin! Chewable's are disgusting! I still take the chewable Calcium but will replace that stat as well.

The chewables are the absolute worst. It takes all the willpower I can muster to take them and not gag. I can't wait until I'm cleared for regular vitamins!

1 week after surgery I was able to swallow the pills but I cut them in half. But about 2 weeks after that I started taking it whole

I can't take Vitamins in pill form, even cut in smaller pieces. I now use Bariatric Pal Vitamin patch. I wear one at night while sleeping
