Has anyone had a negative experience with taking a non chewable (centrum like) Vitamin?

My doctor suggested I used the chewablies. Not soooooo bad.

My doc's office said no pills over the size of a dime. I bought some of the gummy vitamins (hate the taste of regular chewables) and being on this pre op diet, their sweetness is like a treat! LOL

My doc said either chewable or liquid vitamins. I started out using gummie but they didn't give me the energy I needed throughout the day. I went to Vitamin world and talked to the sales lady who just happened to be a personal trainer that has some banded clients and she recommended a vitamin called Origin Of Life Complete liquid Nutrition and believe me when I say I absolutely love this vitamin... It gives me sustainable energy, has my hair and nails growing like crazy and it taste pretty good!

Both my surgeon and nutritionist told me to take 2 Flintstones chewables with Iron every day. So far, so good.:D

Mine too...said to use flintstones chewable twice a day. I might try the Gummy ones tho. That sounds nice having a little sweet! But they say not for 2 wks after. I wonder if it would help or matter if I started now....I feel soooo weak and can't be up long at a time! I'm on day 6.

I am at my sweet spot, and I still take full sized vitamins....only one at a time, and spaced out! I really can't afford all that, I am self pay, so rite-aid Calcium, nad one-a-day are good enough for me!

I will say that the first time I got stuck and pb'ed, was by taking two Vitamins at one time....hahahahahah, now it is more about slowing down, and little bites, and chew, chew, chewing.....but anyway no probo with the regular vitamins!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
