I do, although I have less stomach upset if I take the multi-vitamins with food, but when I was on liquids I took the multi with a protein shake and the calcium with water or tea.

I got an answer from my nutritionist. He basically said that it is OK to mix vitamins and protein shakes but not tea and coffee as they can oxalate and potentially cause renal stones.

I use to crush my Vitamins and mix them with liquids, but they all tasted awful to me. Luckily at 6 weeks out you can start taking pills again. So I started taking calcium citrate capsules and switched to Flinstones Complete Multivitamin. So much better!!!

I was told the same thing as Lisa - Can't Weight - don't take your Calcium Citrate the same time as your Multi-Vitamin.

The multivitamins I'm taking don't have iron in them, so it is OK to take them with Calcium. I'm going to switch to capsules once I hit 6 weeks post-op.

When I first got my chewable vitamins and calcium, I liked them and they tasted OK to me. However, in the past few days I started to get a headache after I take them. That's why I wanted to mix them with liquids. As I said before, I'll switch to capsules as soon as I hit the 6weeks mark (post op).
