How do I take my vitamins?

Mine are chewable vitamins. B12 under the tongue. I do have to cut my vitamins into quarters because they are so big!!! I take them every morning after breakfast.

ORAL - whatever you do - ORAL

Mine are in powder form that I add to my protein shake.

I'm 5 day post-op today and I'm letting my chewable vitamins dissolve in my mouth but it taste nasty anyways. Is there anyway that I can break it into small pieces and then drink it even though its chewable???

My doc has me taking two of the flinstones complete chewable vitamins. That are very tolerable.

I'm post op 4days got to start vitamins tomorrow and the one from docs office are costly does anyone have a better idea for which will be the best for me. Pls reply I need your advice ty

My doc has me taking two of the Flinstones complete chewable Vitamins. That are very tolerable.

How long post op r u?

Most doctors recommend the Flintstones complete. 2 times a day my surgeon doesn't even start you on calcium until your 3 months post op and vitamin b12 at around 6-8 weeks post op. They haven't said anything about iron. I guess I will find out Wednesday

I buy my vitamins from celebrate vitamins. It's a kit. For 3 months of all the vitamins I need is like $140. I have chewable multi vitamins which also have the B vitamins. A calcium plus D supplement (start 6 weeks post op) and a B complex I take twice a week. At 1 week post op my surgeon gave me the clear to swallow my pills.

That's the same protocol as my doc. The flint stones each have a fairly high iron content so mine doesn't require additional iron unless yours gets low.

Im only 4days post op !

My doc recommends 2 flint stones complete and B12 in the morning. Flints tones are cheap and I bought the B12 sublinquals when it was BOGO free at my supermarket. So....very cheap there for vitamins. After 3 weeks, we start calcium citrate. I chose chewables I found at the vitamin shoppe for about $15 for a months worth. Doc wants us to take 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening. If you can't find an affordable chewable, our NUT has told us that you could dissolve the calcium citrate tab in water to take it if you can't tolerate swallowing it. Hope that helps.

YEP! And you can order a sample pack (3-4 days worth) for $3. I kept track of the flavors that I liked and disliked.

Im 7 days postop and the only vitamin my Dr advised me to take at this point is Flintstones chewables (not gummys ) with iron and its 2 per day.

I am 7 days post op and I started my B12 & flintstones on post op day 5 and started my vit D3 & calcium supplement today. No iron supplement needed because it is in the flintstones.
