Do we have to do chewable vitamins forever or just until we're able to tolerate regular vitamins? I HATE chewable vitamins. I dread it every morning, they are so gross. Please tell me this is not forever?

I hated the chewables too and I think at about 6 months out I switched over to Nature's Made Mini vitamins.

I hate chewables too! Looking forward to hearing what others suggest/say.

My surgeon said normal vitamin tablets are okay after 3 weeks. I like my chewy ones -they're strawberry flavour and the only things I get to chew during this puree stage!

Oh I'm only 4 days away from 3 weeks!!! Calling the dr on Monday to confirm this is ok with him, if so no more gross chewables for me!!!

Typically, just until you can tolerate regular ones, though surgeons will have different opinions and instructions on this (along with everything else, it seems!) I never used chewable vitamins - only calcium supplements as those are typically are such horse pills - and I used them much longer than I needed to simply because I had a big bucketload of them from Bariatric Advantage to use up. I could only take pills one at a time with a sip of water each for a while, unlike the handful at a time as I could pre-op, but I was back to the handful approach (including the calcium horse pills) after a few months.
