I had been on Juice Plus a few years ago and then basically got lazy and stopped taking it. I was thinking of taking it for these last two months before my surgery. Does anyone know how long AFTER surgery before you could swallow a big capsule (and they are pretty big) again? They also have chewables but they are gummies and I didn't think that sounded like a good idea.

I have those big fish oil capsules and I was told I would never be able to take them. I've seen other people post that they starting taking pills immediately post-op with no problem. I would ask my doctor.

i've been taking biggish pills since a few days after my surgery, no problems whatsoever, but as Donna said, best ask your doctor

Gummies of anything are good...

I'm 8 days post op. My Dx told me not to take fish oil also. Most of my pills, if they are big, I split in half. I just noticed today that Viactiv has 3 grams of sugar so on Thurs. when I'm to start my calcium, I'll take the regular chewable calcium. I'm not able to take my CQ10, per the Dx. When I get off my colestral pill, I won't need it anyway. I'm down 12.6# since my 5 day prep to today.

Your ticker is looking awesome girl! Yayyyy!

I take the chewable juice Plus and while I haven't had my surgery yet my doctor said I would be able to take them after surgery. I have never been able to swallow anything bigger than tylenol so chewable are the only option for me. I am also a distributor for JuicePlus and I have a couple clients who have had WLS and one takes the chewables and one the capsules and neither have had any problems.

I take the big fish oil caplets whole. I just make sure to take them one at time with about an hour in between as when I put it in water to see what happens the gelitan skin became quite large.

I take the juice plus gummies in red, green and purple! They are great!

My surgeon has me on bariatric-specific vitamins. I think I feel better about that. The ones for the first month or so are chewable, as are the calcium chews he gave me.
