mandmom 31 Posted July 27, 2018 Good morning everybody I have a tentative date for the end of September so it's coming up pretty quick. I have some questions about Vitamins. I been told that I will have to get the chewable. Vitamins. Although after doing some research I have seen others just crush or pulverize they're normal vitamins and take them that way. How long will I have to be on chewable or crushed vitamins? I am on a very limited fixed income so purchasing specialty chewable vitamins is really cost prohibitive for me. What are people's experience with post-surgery vitamins? Also how long before I can take my vitamins in the normal way. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Born in Missouri 1,264 Posted July 27, 2018 Please share more information about the Vitamins you currently take. I never had a problem taking my meds whole, even my horse pills, post-surgery. Have you been told that a Multivitamin is the only supplement you'd need after your surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
