I just can't get them down!

I can't begin to tell everyone how many brands of vitamins and calcium citrate I have tried (GNC, bariatric adv, centrum and flinstone kids, wellese liquid)...And I still can't keep them down! I don't think I can move to gummies or chews considering I'm only about 1 month out. I'm doing great on protein and b12...what do I do to get these darn vitamins and calcium in?

When I was 2 weeks out, I started taking gummy vitamins. I made sure I chewed them up very well and have had no problems with them. For calcium, I take the calcium chews and again I just chew them up really well. Good luck with taking your vitamins and calcium.

Hi.... I struggled with the vitimans as well. For some reason the taste made me sick. So I made myself a deal.... I would at least take them 3 days a week. Mostly on the days I did Not feel queasy. That system worked for me. At this point I can handle centerium chewable Multi vitiman ( my nut recommended these). For the calcium at 2 months I started the calcium chews from Costco ( both chocolate and Carmel are good). Now I am able to manage to take what I need daily. For most Kaiser patients we are told to take b1, b12 (sublingual) Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. Daily we take Multi vitimans and calcium. I just had my lab work done a few weeks ago and everything was perfect.... So this system seems to work! Anyway, sorry I was long winded.... Hang in there it gets easier! Best Wishes

I took the gummies the day after surgery . the vita craves taste pretty good(2x a day ) and i bought natures bounty calcium with vit d gummies and they arent too bad. give them a try..
