The only chewable multis I see in stores are for kids, cant I just crush the ones I have?

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? Thanks for any advice

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.

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 ????

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

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
