Is anyone else having trouble swallowing vitamins? I cut my multi vitamin in half and can't hardly swallow half without gaging. Prior to surgery I could swallow a while on with no problem.

I still haven't been cleared for regular pills and take the chewable vitamins. However, when I am finished with them I am actually switching to the patches because the chewable makes me really sick even when chewed thoroughly. I find vitamins to be my biggest struggle now.

I have switched to the patches that they have and the BariatricPal store and I really like them! I have no sickness at all and my blood tests all look good! I would highly recommend.

Is it one patch or multiple?

I HATE chewable vitamins and, even though I have no problem swallowing pills, am not a fan of swallowing so many throughout the day.

It's just one patch that I use. It meets the requirements that my surgeon had.

I found the multivitamin one of the worst parts of the recovery. I can gag just thinking about pulling the capsule apart. Then how it hurt. And I always took mine with something in my stomach and with a shake. Honestly, I took it about 2x a week.
I'm 5 weeks now, and can take the capsule, so it gets better.
I found the chewable just as bad as the regular ones! [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]
