Today I'm two weeks post op so I started Vitamins. Keep in mind, I've had nothing but liquids for 3 weeks... Anyway, I plunked a Gummy Vitamin and a viactive Calcium chew in my mouth, chewed a couple of times and swallowed.

DUMB DUMB DUMB

I called my Dr and they advised me to drink hot lemon Water and all should dissolve and pass through soon. This is so uncomfortable and I was panicky so I had a hard time breathing. Has anyone else done something dumb and lived to tell about it??

@@AprilHansen Yes I've done many dumb things and here I am still living. Glad all is well, and thank you. Now I know not to do this post op. Do you have liquid Vitamins you can use for awhile?

No but I have some nasty chewable tablets I can use for now. These things are taking forever to dissolve. I'll never do that again.

I find that if I suck on the gummies for a while they get softer and mushier, then I chew, chew, chew. So far, not a problem. Thanks for the heads-up. Hope your feeling better

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
