Scared to take my vitamins

By dartbarbie

· 446 views

Hey all. So i'm on the week that I am supposed to start taking my supplements (I was supposed to start this past Monday). The only chewable ones I have are the daily multivitamin. The others I could only find in "petite" sizes, which do not fit through a straw. So therefore, I have been too chicken to take those other two because they might not go down ok. I did call the nurse and she said just try and see how it goes. But, still haven't yet. Has anybody had troubles taking their vitamins in the 4th week when we are supposed to start? Do I have anything to be afraid of?

    I'm four weeks out, and no problems taking my meds in pill form. If you are still nervous, get a pill crusher and mix with Sugar Free pudding or apple sauce.

    I take the batiatric fusion chewable vit and you take 3 a day. The mixed berry does not taste bad. It seems like a lot of vit but my nut says we need that much.
