    Centrum (I think I spelled that right) has a chewable. Go to CVS or Walgreens. You should find it there.

  • I use centrum also...any advice for vitamin d3? My dr. Said I'm low and recommended taking 2000 itl of vitamin d3....is there a liquid? Would soft gels work? Or is it something I can just crush? Thank

There are also chewable calcium pills. You all can go to the pharmacist at the drug store and they can provide you with the information. I wish I could remember the name of the chewable one. But they are awesome, so use them.

@@mercy96 I crush my vitamins and mix it with yogurt. My doc said I could crush them.

I take Natures Bounty 5000 iu daily. My levels are low when I don't take them and ok when I do take them. So I'm going to stay on them ????

Reminds me of when I was a kid and couldn't swallow pills...my mom would crush them and put in jelly

I found everything at walmart today except thiamin. I got centrum chewable... But my NUT says crushing is fine just remember the days you are in clear and light fluids not sure how to take it crushed without a little yogurt or something.

I got the liquid calcium called "wellessee" at wal mart and it includes the d3 so I will use that at least the first 4-6 weeks. I also found liquid b12 sublingual ..at walmart

@@auntiemel would appreciate your list...would you message me? thank u!!!

My dr doesn't want me to take the liquid MULTI I found specific to bariatric patients she says they font have enough of some things and other additives she doesn't like. But I may take them just the first week to get vitamins in because it just a liquid and it has calcium and protein in it too.. Found those on (celebrate vitamins) they call it ENS I think.
