I just had my surgery on Thursday now do you crush your vitamins?

I bought chewable. Honestly they're terrible, but I'm getting used to them. I got mine from this site. Good luck!

I had no issue after the first week of swallowing them whole. Try breaking them in half.

I take my Vitamins in soft chew form. I get them at GNC.

I was told to start my Vitamins 2 weeks after surgery and not before. I bought the citracal petites and they are still big horse pills. Two of them at once hurts my stomach. So I take 1, then 2 hours later I take the other one and so on. I bought chewable multivits and they are by far the easiest to take. They are ProCare Health Bariatric Multivitamins with 45 mg Iron and you only take 1 a day.

I am also on a antidepressant and I was unable to take my medication for almost 2 weeks because it was extended release. But after talking to my primary physician she switched the medication. I'm still on the same type just in a different form. So as long as they arent extended release. You can crush them. I crush my pills and then mix it with Water and splenda. Still kinda nasty but better than taking it straight.
