Non-chewable vitamins



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
