My doctor prescribed me my medication post op and they are tablets. Will i be able to consume a whole tablet or should i be asking for something else.

I would advise small & easily chewable ones. The nutritionists at my drs office gave several bariactric Vitamin samples before surgery. I liked most of them. After surgery I got the chewable ones & now they are very difficult to tolerate! They are too big & taste chalky. And they make me feel full. I wish I would have gotten the ones that look like candy(Carmel, chocolate etc.).They taste better & are so much easier to consume. Little more money but worth it.

I agree with visionmom77.

Get the soft chews (taffy-like), not the chewables.

I don't like chalky ones either do they make it in a gummy vitamin.?

Has anyone tried Ecodrink? It's a powder you dissolve in Water. I wondered if that might be preferable to a chewable, unless the liquid washes it through you too quickly.

My doc says no gummies, because they don't dissolve very well in the sleeve.

My Dr did say for my Biotin I can just dissolve in Water then drink it.

Hi there,

Do you take the same Vitamins? My surgery is on 15th of January. We're quiet close

I take chewable Bariatric Advantage Advanced Multi EA and caramel Chewy Bite calcium. The taste isn't great but I dont find the multi chalky, I kinda suck on it until it dissolves, that may help. The multi also has iron and B12 in it so I don't need anything else tho I take D3. I get them off Amazon.
