Ready To Ditch The Chewables

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

    I've been swallowing whole pills since the surgery.

  • I was told that when i switched to and could tolerate "normal" foods I could take pills. That was about 2 months for me. I,ve not had any problems yet.

Does centrum have iron in it?

I'm pre-op and the chewables make me sick! This just can't be a good sign. I have the bariatric advantage preop multivitamin in berry... it's not TERRIBLE, but not good.

I also have the bariatric advantage calcium chewables in cinnamon.... I feel like I'm dying when I eat them. lol They BURN! Why so violent chewable vitamin? I've got to get my hands on a different flavor.

Try the Celebrate Multi-Complete--it's a berry flavor-chews really quickly and just 2x day. I'm not satisfied on what I have for calcium--but I do have the Bariatric Advantage in cherry--it's not terrible just really big and chalky. I always put a little Water in my mouth while I'm chewing to help too. Then I swish at the end :) check out Nashua Nutrition online-great resource
