I did chewable ones early out and then switched to capsules. That being said, I was taking small pills without issue the day after surgery in the hospital. I’m not sure if I could have swallowed a capsule. I would run it by my team. How long until you can have yogurt or apple sauce? It may be a lot easier to get it down that way

I took chewables for about a month. Now, I think I’ll stick to the capsules, because the chewables tend to be on the expensive side.

My providers insist on chewable vitamins at first (for how long, I can't recall). I have several Rx that are capsules, so I'm not sure why, but I trust them and do what they say. My forms:

multi - chewable tablet

calcium citrate - soft chew

B12 - sublingual tablet

My multis (Bariatric fusion cherry) taste nasty... I will switch to a 1-a-day capsule as soon as my doctors give the OK.

I took capsules without a problem. They had me taking tablets in hospital even though I had a lot of swelling for the first couple of days. I had to take 2 Multi Vitamins, a Vitamin D, a PPI & my HRT so I spread out when I took them - morning & night - so I wasn’t having to swallow one or two at a time.

I would stick to Capsules, I am going to switch over to them. The chewable are so gross, I throw up every morning from them.

I'm six weeks post op tomorrow and I switched to capsules about ten days ago and have had no issues. The chewables are gross and overpriced. I just couldn't bring myself to order another bottle of chewables for $30. I can get a three month supply of capsules for less than the cost of one month of chewables. I was supposed to remain on chewables for three months, but oh well, lol.

      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.
