Vitamins

I just had my surgery Monday so I'm not on this stage yet, but as far as vitamins are they hard to get down? And do they taste bad

Hi Jess, my B12 Vitamins are small and just suck under the tongue. The multi is a berry flavoured chewable Vitamin. Have to take losec which I take with my morning smoothie as Im not a great pill taker. Just have to do one tablet at a time and wait till it goes down if I need to take other pills. Good luck.

Oh that doesn't sound too bad! Thank u!

As a fellow RNY- er I take 2- flinstones vitamins daily, 1- B-12 sublingual you let dissolve under your tongue( cherry flavor) a cherry flavor iron chewable that's really tasty, and I get my calcium citrate in liquid form I take 2- Tbsp a day. This is all broken up throughout the day

Yes I have my 6 week appointment next week and I think they are going to be adding calcium and iron then, hope it is also chewable. I think the Losec I am to take for 3 months but going to see if tthats necessary as over it after 6 weeks. As I said Im not a great pill taker.

I'm three weeks out and having a terrible time with my vitamins and calcium. My vitamins make me puke and there is no way the calcium will stay down. I'm thinking about trying Tums for the calcium. I'm going to call the NUT on Monday. I know how important these are but I just can't get them down.

I agree with andy and lil boos way of taking them. My Bariatic clinic also says that a pill crusher was a good idea that way I would be able to take them with jello or even drink to wash them down. But the sublingual vitamin has good taste the others are flavored chewables.
