Anyone Start Taking Full-Sized Vitamins Again?



Recommended Posts

I'm 7.5 months post-op and have been taking Vitamins in the form of 3 tiny capsules each day. I gagged on the chewables and the thought of the liquid stuff makes we want to gag.

While I seem to be doing ok with the 3 tiny capsules, they smell and taste terrible. Since I've be able to take other larger pills without a problem, I was thinking of going back to taking full-sized centrums again.

Anyone else go back to full-sized vitamins?

I switched from chewables to regular Vitamins at 6 weeks. I couldn't stand the taste any more. My dr was fine with it and I've not experienced any issues. Even the calcium citrate pills which are massive are not an issue.

I had my sleeve 12/16/13. I started taking a food based organic multi Vitamin with Iron about 6 weeks ago. The brand is Supernutrition SimplyOne. I can't remember where I heard that food based Vitamins were better. I paid $14.00 for a month supply. I take calcium chews (2 per day not the recommended 3 because they are expensive). The vitamin is a large-ish tablet but I have no problems getting it down, sort of has a alfalfa type smell so the smell is not offensive. I like the fact that I get my entire dose in one pill.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
