Ugh! I know how important the B complex is, but I can't find it in chewable. It's so bitter, it makes me heave. Is there a chewable? If not, what have some of you done to get this one down? How long until I can take a pill?

I was smeared at first but I do one at a time with a sip of something there were some in hospital like potassium that we crushed up and put in a little pudding and that worked fine also

Thanks! I'm still kind of on the fence because it's a bit of a larger capsule. Probably the size of two extra strength tylenol put together. The outer shell is flimsy, so I am thinking it will dissolve fast. I tried to mix it with applesauce and later pudding, but it was so bitter I just heaved until I got it down. I just don't think I'm gonna be able to do that every day until they clear me to swallow a pill. So frustrating. Everything else I have found a way to handle, but this one darn yet oh so important Vitamin. Grrr.

I guess I tried to be your Ginny pig I had some Bariatric Advantage B-50 so I tried on this morning it went down fine had no trouble so if you haven't taken any by mouth try a small one like a Tylenol and see what happens before you try something a little larger

I do that too. It has been impressed upon me that I take the B50 complex because you could end up with nerve damage without it. It's the grossest of all the Vitamins. Haha!

Can u guys give me some advice?

I'm 4 days out from a bypass and I'm hungry! Everybody says they r so full after 2oz of their mush food and can't finish their Protein shakes. I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to and I'm still hungry!!

I'm so scared that this is happening. Does it mean my bypass isn't going to work?

Please share your experience with me!

B12 is important you can take that as a shot or sublingual...I tried the bariatric chewable multivit with Iron is was nasty.

I take Gummy Vitamins, Biotin 5000 mcg, Vit D/calcium chews chocolate, protonix, potassium, sublingual b12. I have to take Iron too so I am switching to a non chewable multivit with iron. Also I started taking Royal Jelly 1000mg.

Nairali-I'm a week out and feel the same way. Although I have to admit I have yet to be able to do what I am supposed to do. Today is the first day that I have not had diarrhea. I can't drink anything but Water so have not been able to get any Protein in. Today I got some egg drop Soup because it was the only thing I could even think about eating/drinking. Thankfully the Water and Soup stayed with me today so same diet tomorrow I guess. At least I'm getting some protein.

I think you will be fine once your body really heals. Keep doing what you are supposed to do with the protein I'm sure you will feel better.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
