Good morning everybody I have a tentative date for the end of September so it's coming up pretty quick. I have some questions about vitamins. I been told that I will have to get the chewable. Vitamins. Although after doing some research I have seen others just crush or pulverize they're normal vitamins and take them that way. How long will I have to be on chewable or crushed vitamins? I am on a very limited fixed income so purchasing specialty chewable vitamins is really cost prohibitive for me. What are people's experience with post-surgery vitamins? Also how long before I can take my vitamins in the normal way. Thank you

Please share more information about the vitamins you currently take.

I never had a problem taking my meds whole, even my horse pills, post-surgery.

Have you been told that a multivitamin is the only supplement you'd need after your surgery?

Yes only supplement. I take a large multi.

Well well Welcome @ mandmom. Congratulations on taking such a big step.

I was allowed to take pills after completion of 4 weeks. I had no problems and take 4 pills, 1 vitamin and 1 fish oil. No problems.
