How to take Vitamins

Hi everyone, i was banded ydy. When i took my meds last night (i broke the big ones in half) I could feel that they were kind of stuck. Which got me wondering how do i take all the supplements we are supposed to take every day? What does everyone here do? I really dont want to chew them. Sara

Hi Sara,

Your nutritionist should've told you that for the 1st month you should be on chewable Vitamins, that is what I had to do & it was super easy. Good luck & congrats on your band! :)

I went with a liquid Vitamin from Vitamin Shoppe, Max Effect. Taste great and has a very good profile with other goodies thrown in.

they also have melt-away vitamins and supplements that have better flavor than the chewables. I have them in vitamins, Vit D, Biotin, and vit c. All have their own flavor.

I only do one chewable vitamin, that's my multi-vitamin, my others are all pills and I take them 1 or 2 at a time. I haven't had any issues with this so far. I may have to look for the meltaway vitamins, though...

I take a prenatal vitamin cut it into 1/4s at bedtime and liquid b12 drops from gnc throughout day as needed. How many vitamins are you taking?

I never had problems with any of my meds or vitamins from the beginning. I just took one pill at a time and waited a few minutes in between. To this day I take all my pills at once. Unfortunately it's a lot.

My multi vitamin, B12 and fiber are all Gummies. It's like a little snack each day. :)
