Non-chewable vitamins

[gsusser 15]

The nut sez I can go on non-chewable Vitamins, except calcium citrate, 4 weeks after surgery, which is less than 2 weeks from now. My regiment is a multi, B complex and Calcium citrate. I'm not sure how much to order since she won't give me an idea how long I'll be on this regiment, but the attached seem to be the smallest quantity at Bariatric Advantage. It's expensive! Is my order reasonable? Thanks.

And why can't you take calcium citrate pills? Sooooo much cheaper than the calcium chews.< /p>

I just bought a few months of the Vitamin Patches they have in the store here. Transdermal is supposed to be better absorbed so that's what I'm going with for now. The price is very comparable.

She said they're too big and it's too many per day.

That seems expensive! I think I paid around $10 for my chewables from vitacost, I don't think there are as many tablets in the bottle but it's a months worth.

I was cleared for all pills at one month post op. The calcium citrate I take are 500mg each so that's only 3 per day. chewable were at to expensivesorry for me.

I tried to edit but can't from my Kindle.....My mistake...My Calcium is 250mg per pill. I take 3, plus there is calcium in my multi Vitamin. I eat yogurt, cheese and drink milk. My labs have been good.
