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



Recommended Posts

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
