Great (albeit somewhat expensive) trick for getting vitamins in

[ohjuly7878 20]

I just wanted to share what I've been doing to get my Vitamins. I hate the chewables and although the small mulitvitamin pill might be small enough to get down, it does not have enough Calcium...

So I have been using the Viactiv chews; they have chews for Multivitamins and for Calcium. They taste delicious, and not too many calories each (maybe 20 calories each?). I basically bite off a small piece of the square and suck on it untill it is dissolved. (I take a small enough piece in each bite so that if I accidentally swallowed it, I could probably dissolve it with hot tea.) I also find this helps with my Water drinking, since it is very satisfying to sip Water after each small bite of the viactiv. I take one multivit and two calciums each day. Because I do it so slowly, those three items plus a large glass of water gets me through several hours of work in the afternoon! The only thing I notice is that the viactiv is somewhat low on Vitamin A (I think that Vitamin is hard to get in a pill), so I also try to concentrate on carrots and spinach when I eat my veggies.

Good luck to all!

I was banded yesterday. And I am sitting here now trying to figure these Vitamins out. I am not sure how to get all in in one day. I am taking the chewables. But I am worried about putting too much in my new stomach.

I use Centrum liquid vitamins. They work very well for me.
