So I am a couple weeks out now and at the point where I am to start my Vitamins. I ordered everything chewable or dissolvable from Celebrate. I cannot!!! keep the big chewable mulitivit in without wretching and frothing. I have tried with and without food and nothing seems to be helping. Any advice?

Why are you taking a chewable in the first place? If you are a couple of weeks out now, you should have no trouble swallowing pills. I've been swallowing all my vitamins/supplements in pill form since 7 days post op. Did your surgeon say you need to take a chewable for some reason?

@@lucy0911 - Talk to your doctor. I was allowed to return to regular pills after 6 weeks. If you are someone who has difficulties swallowing pills you may want to look into liquid vitamins instead.

My doc requires chewable for a month

@@lucy0911 - ask if liquids would be an acceptable option. If you are allowed apple sauce or nut butter, you can try crushing them and mixing them in that. it may help mask the taste a bit.

Oh yuck.....there is no way I could do a chewable. I have always had trouble swallowing any size pill. My thyroid med is so tiny I almost lose it when I try to take it. LOL My Bariatric Advantage Vitamins are huge to me but I just take my time and get them down.

I agree with blerdgirl.....check with your doc and see what else you can do. These are something that you have to take forever I hope you can find an easier way to get them down.

I hope so too....I go back tomorrow so hopefully I can get this taken care of. This is just gross

I am required to do chewable or liquid for a month. Have you tried crushing it and hiding it in food? I am still pre-op, but I was given multiple samples of vits. Are you taking them with food? I am so afraid this will be me in 3 weeks. (Surg day is Feb 18) good luck!

I have tried everything..lol..it's just nasty..makes me so sick..can't wait for tomorrow

Good news from the NP this am...swallowing full pills now allowed!
