Hey everybody my surgery date was july 1st and omg! i just cant deal.with all.the flavors of the vitamins :the sublingual b12 yuk! Calcium.citrate vit d and flinstones its too much makes me sick makes me gag but i know this is key on this process but thinking if this is a few days out how im i going to do it for life?? Maybe my emotions r al over the place and im over analyzing but r we able to swallow pills ever again? I really hope so cant stand these sweet grainy flavors every single day help?? Advice? Really overwhelmed right know

I am almost3 weeks out. I swallow my pills the chewables were disgusting. I just make sure they are small so some I split in half.

Last time I went to costco they had liquid Vitamins that they were giving out samples for. They said they were more easily absorbed by the cells. It might have been this one:

In any event, I plan to get these for after the surgery, even if they are a little more expensive.

For the first week, I bought a liquid multivitamin from Walgreens, their brand. It said it was cherry flavor, yet it was yellow!! it wasn't too bad but I actually like the chewable ones I got from Twin Labs Bariatric Support

Centrum has a good liquid adult version that you can get right at Wal-Mart or Target. it's likely that your aversion will eventually go away and you will be able to tolerate the chewables again, but until then a liquid would do...also, at around month 2-3 post op is when you are able to swallow whole Vitamins again.

Thanks everybody at i feel soo much better i will be looking into these options i appreciate your support

I know everyone's program is different, but my surgeon said at 4 wks, I can take regular vitamins, but to cut them in 1/2 until 8 weeks. I've started taking One A Day's gummies and I really don't mind them and will probably continue with them for now.

I'm 2 & 1/2 weeks out. I had a post op infection. They gave me "horse" pills for antibiotics. NO WAY I could swallow them. I use a little plastic pill crusher my wife got me at target. I then pour the powder into my protein shake. I never tast it. I've also put it in fat free pudding and applesauce. I would assume you could do the same with the chewable vitamins. If u get the liquid ones and don't like the taste, u could probably mix them in with crystal lite.

Any get nauseated on the chewables? For some reason they make me feel really bad :-( any tips ?
