At 3 months post op I am so sick of nasty chewable Vitamins. I did switch to gummy vitamins but I'm so ready to go back to regular vits and add my hair skin and nail back. Can these get stuck? Has anyone gone back to whole pills? When? And how did it go?

Thanks

Did they say why no gummies? I gag on all the Vitamins so I take gummies for now. I figured something is better than nothing.

My surgeon says they can get stuck and cause blockage.

Someone mentioned they have taken whole pills right away.... Are they absorbed and fully beneficial?

My pills are capsules, so the powdered Vitamins are inside. As soon as the coating dissolves, the vitamins are absorbed.

Womens one a day makes petite vitamins!

I was on Prilosec for the 1st 30 days. I've taken other pills, (headache, Vitamins, calcium) whole with no issues.

I had gastric bypass in July on the 9th I have added Biotin and I take a thyroid pill to I haven't had any problems with them getting stuck. I'm so frustrated I feel like I am gaining weight instead of losing from the beginning I weighed 235 and now I weigh 196 but I was weighing 193 so I'm getting frustrated I'm going crazy thinking I'm gaining

What brand do you use and where are they purchased? I'm interested in these

Bariatric Advantage multi Vitamins. I buy them from Amazon.com, and it runs about $20 plus shipping.

I started my vitamins on the second week. I've never used chewables. Most of mine are small. The biggest one is the calcium but I have the citrical petites. Even my multi Vitamin is petite( one a day). They are coated so they go down very easy.

Use what works best for you! Not everyone is the same!

U gotta stop stressing about it. I know easier said than done. But just think about how much healthier u already are with 39 pounds lost! U r doing jusy fine. Hang in there.

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:)
