Can gummy vitamins be taken after surgery or strictly chewables?

I was told by my NUT to double the amount if you take gummies. No explanation though.

My surgeon said it was okay for me to take gummies. I took the Flinstone ones with iron until I got some vitamin patches.

My program does not recommend gummies because of two reasons: 1. added sugar and 2. they don't contain the same amounts of vitamins that chewable ones do. The reason they gave was the gummie vitamins were formulated with lower quantities of vitamins and often no iron because the chances of a child thinking they are candy and eating a bunch is greater (i.e. potential for toxic/overdose levels.). So I would carefully check the formulation, dose and how many you would need to take to get the recommended levels if you take a gummie vs. a chewable (or patch or whatever).

My surgeon also said not to take vitamin gummies.

Agreed, I was advised no gummies as well.

When I had my sleeve, I was told chewable only, no gummies.

I too was told gummed are not good. Something about them having Too much sugar or doesn't digest well.
