2 weeks post-op and I am SICK of calcium gummies!

Is there anything else out there that will allow me to get what I need daily? I've been so good on everything else but having to eat 6 gummies a day is almost making me sick. They are too sweet and I find myself skipping them. That's not good, I know.

I am with you. I have to take 2 GIGANTIC chewable Multivitamins a day and cannot wait until I can just swallow it down. I don't use Calcium gummies, but got caramel flavored calcium chews from the surgeon's office. They are by Bariatric Advantage.

I was allowed to swallow whole pills at 7 days post-op, so maybe ask your surgeon about that? I take a generic version of Citrical Maximum. It's two large pills twice daily.

You have got to try this multi-Vitamin chewable. Only 1 needed a day and they are tiny! They actually go down so easy...

I already asked. They said I am not allowed whole pills until 3 months postop. :(

You asked on the mulit-Vitamin vitamin I suggested? It's a chewable just like what you're taking now, just smaller and you only have to take 1 a day.

I buy the Well brand of Calcium + D at Walgreens. They have chewy caramel or chocolate, which come 60 in reclosable foil bag. I only need one per day.

I don't swallow any vitamins at all, I bought a bunch of vitamin patches from my Drs office. You just stick it on for 24 hrs then remove it and it last for 3-5 days (depending on the vitamin) the omega and calcium +D3 is every 4 days and the B12 power patch and B12 high dose+12 essential vitamins is every 5days. Its wonderful and I love it. I still have to take my Ultima Electrolyte drink for my minerals but the patches are great.
