My surgeon said to get chewable. Centrum makes one and best choice too. I would worry the Gummy would get stuck. They are a little chalky much not that bad. He also had me get chewable Calcium. Your surgeon should have given you a list.

I have never tried gummies before. I just know my surgeon said chewable but I guess Gummy is chewable too? And they actually taste good?

They are delicious! And like highland said I take mine after my evening meal and it's like a treat! Yum. I have to take four gummies and there are four flavors so sometimes I eat one of each and feel like I'm eating a smidge of candy. Yes, I know it's silly. But whatever. It makes my mind happy!

Darn...i got a few liquids and 2 chewables. It looks like there is a good variety of gummys so Ill have to get them next time. I need a really good probiotic in a chewable, liquid, or Gummy but havent found one yet. Right now (not banded till Thursday) I have an 80 billion probiotic. I love my probiotic and need to do some research for a comparable one.

I also didnt find any liquid Tylenol or Ibuprofen...do you take childrens liquid but more of it or something? Or do they just not sell liquid Tylenol or Ibuprofen at Walmart (where I went). Thanks guys for your help.

I got liquid Tylenol at Wal-Mart. I also know that I've seen it at every grocery store around here. However, I bought a whole bottle and never used it. I either took my prescribed pain pills or just learned that the pain wasn't that bad and dealt with it. Also, I didn't get liquid pain medicine. They just gave me pills which would have been the same size as Tylenol pills.

I also NEVER used my liquid tylenol. You actually buy children's and take the adult dose if you decide you want it. I had very little, if any, pIn after my surgery. The right shoulder gas pain was the most bothersome and walking is the only answer for that! Best wishes on your surgery!

probiotic pearls are small enough to swallow. I have been taking those from the start.

I have found the adult liquid tylenol at Walmart, once. The other two times I've tried to find it, they've been sold out. I know Walgreens and probably Rite Aid also sell a generic acetaminophen.

I would say chewable or liquid is best. I've had issues with Gummy things!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
