So I am nine days post-op and I have to take my Vitamins. Does anyone know how long until I can take a pill Vitamin? These are just terrible and make me nauseous.

Am I doing it wrong by adding it to 6 oz of Water?

If it's smaller than a m&m it's okay too swallow. But swallowing pills is hard and fulls you up fast.
They make vitamelts that melt on you tongue that taste amazing at Walmart. I'm 9 months post op and never had any trouble with my blood work.

Thank you! I will look for these. I'm not allowed to take capsules for one month so I need something until then.

I started taking Vitamin pills seven days after surgery. I've been doing that ever since with no problems.

Thanks for the information, I will definitely purchase those. I have issues now swallowing Vitamins, they always feel stuck and give me indigestion.

My surgeon said not to worry about any Vitamins the first 2 weeks, just hydration and Protein Shakes. I was told to wait a minimum of a month for any hard tablet pills and to crush them first.

Going into my 7th week after surgery and I went to taking my capsule multivitamin! Chewable's are disgusting! I still take the chewable Calcium but will replace that stat as well.

The chewables are the absolute worst. It takes all the willpower I can muster to take them and not gag. I can't wait until I'm cleared for regular vitamins!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
