When can we start taking non chewable vitamins?

If you can take medication, you can take chewable vitamins. So.. I'd say immediately at discharge (i.e. when they clear you for liquids). Just make sure to chew it well.

My doc said after 2 weeks post-op.

I just figured if I can take my regular medicines I can take regular vitamins again.

I started taking my vitamins right away. My dietician also recommend CoQ10 daily to fight fatigue. It seems to be working for me.

Im 4 weeks post op just started them, and b12 I feel much better not to mention this nasty taste in my mouth disappeared, don't know if it's related to taking the Vitamins

I agree that if you can take other meds in pill form then you can do your vitamins.
I plan to stick with the chewable for a while. I am still on a couple of extra prescriptions and I get sick of taking pills. I used to be able to swallow all of my pills at once but I can't do that yet post surgery. I actually enjoy my mixed berry chewables so I'm sticking with them for a while.
