I have chewable Vit C, and Calcium, and a sublingual B-12, but my daily Vitamins (2) are not. Is that a problem?

My surgeon required powder, liquid, or chewable for the first several weeks. I stuck with liquid. There was no way I could have swallowed those big vitamin pills and kept them down. YMMV may vary though.

My doctor says chewables/soft chews only for the first little while. But I imagine it depends on what surgery you're having. Bypass patients have different absorption than sleeve/band patients. I'm a bypass patient.

You should at least have chewable In the beginning stages. I switched to pill form at 3 months.

As nasty as they were, for the first month or so I crushed my chewable Vitamins and downed them with a drink of Water or warm tea. I couldn't get past the smell and taste of the liquid vitamins, it make me throw up. After that I was allowed to do gummies. I know there are a lot of people who will say they aren't allowed to have gummies, but I can according to my surgeon and plan and so far at a year out my labs are consistently excellent.

Speak with your doctor. For the first few weeks they wanted me to have chewable, liquid or crushed. I crushed my regular vitamins for the first 4 weeks and hid them in almond butter. They did not want me swallowing large pills because there was concern that my new tummy could not break the m down sufficiently. After 4 weeks I just swallowed them like I usually do.

I would ask your doctor...for myself I have a really hard time swallowing pills but have no choice with some...for me it's kind of like eating....it takes me a long time to take all my pills + vitamins.

I like the gummies and for calcium the chocolate chewies. they are like a treat or candy so I save them for later in the day. but all other supplements are pill form.

I have the lap band, and I can swallow pills of all sizes and shapes...my vitamins a big, also my omega 3 fish oils gel caps...

But again, always follow your Dr.'s orders, not what a bunch of strangers say on the internet.

@@SugarFreeMe - brings up a good point. Some people like gummies, but not every doctor likes them. Check with your to see if they are allowed.
