You can check with your surgeon as to how big of a tablet you can swallow. Mine had no issues with the size of the pills that I was on, as long as I took them one at a time. The largest i took was the size of an extra strength tylenol.

I use Vita Fusion's Gummy Vitamins. They don't leave any weird aftertaste. As long as you like sweet fruity gummies, they might work out for you. I consider them my desert. I use their Calcium chews, too. They are creamy, my dog insists on sharing them with me, he likes them so much. :-)

I was told no Vitamins for 2 weeks post op. For multi Vitamin I take the equivalent of a flintstones chewable with choline.

liquid Multi Vitamins are easier than chewables and contain more 100% than gummys. Gummys I found only have partial DV not 100% that we need.

I asked the same question about pills.

I started right away taking different meds that were different sizes, and all went down well, except one. I took a vicodin pill and cut it in half and that was the worst mistake I made. That was my first stuck episode and believe me I will not repeat that again.

Make sure you take one at a time with a little Water. I usually wait about 30 seconds before taking another.

I now take that gross B1, but I am 17 days post-0p. Some of my meds were larger than the B1, so you will be fine.
