Are gummy Vitamins allowed right out of surgery? For all the vitamins they tell you that you need to take?

I was told never to use gummies, too much sugar and not good for you. But that's my program, you need to ask yours. They want us to use the dissolvable vitamins, after 3 months I could not stand them any longer and went to swallowing, except the vit b12, i still use the kind that dissolves, good luck

I started off with their chewable Vitamins and could not take them so I take Centrum one a day but I take 1 at Breakfast and 1 at dinner and was told to buy flint stone vit.... The gummy ones and to take two a day hope this helps

Ask your surgeon, all programs are different. I was allowed any form I wanted (chewable, gummy. Tablet, capsules) starting 2 weeks postop. I had a bunch of leftover chewables from preop but hated the taste postop so switched to capsules (except my sublingual B12)

I did chewables after surgery until I ran out, so probably a few months? Since then I've been taking calcium & multi vitamin daily (both gummies), and a sublingual b12 once a week, per my NUT's orders. Labs have never been anything but perfect, no issues whatsoever.

Started with Men's One a day a few weeks after surgery. I still take them or Vitafusion. It took a while to get over the sweetness of the gummies, but I make sure to take them daily. I still take my b12 sublingual daily and I've increased to taking a D3 (daily) and chewable Iron, prebiotics, and Calcium tablets daily.
