Ready To Ditch The Chewables



Recommended Posts

Thanks Jerrie. Just got them today. I will let u know how it goes.

I tried them. I survived. It wasnt too bad. I never felt like vomiting which is what i was worried about. They r kinda dry but after i chewed and swallowed i took a sip of Water to rinse out my mouth. Anyhow this will work:)

I was told to crush my pills for 2 months, and take chewables Vitamins. But apparently all surgeons are so different so I don't know what to tell ya:) after reading all these comments the past couple days, I started just cutting my pills in half and taking them that way and continuing my chewable vitamins. The 3 pills I have are so small though. And the other 2 that are capsules, I am still opening those up and just swallowing the powder. I just couldn't crush those other 3 anymore, It was making my pouch hurt so bad.

Well crap! I am 33 days post op for rny. I couldnt tolerate any hard pills so i stopped taking them all together 2 weeks ago. I just ordered a ton of chewables and was super excited to recieve them. But now u guys r saying u hate those too. Sounds like a no win situation to me.

I am about to go into surgery, but I picked up Men's GNC Mega Vitamin in liquid form. I don't know if doc is cool with it but I have an appointment before and I'll find out then.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
