I know some people use the patches but they are a little spendy. Maybe ask your nutritionist about it. I could not stomach the chewables either, of any kind. I was allowed to switch to pills after four weeks but that may not help you completely. I would check into the patches.

I am taking capsules, no issues swallowing. I did do chewables the first month

have you tried the liquid multivitamins?

I'm using GNC soft-chews of Multivitamin, D3, B12, and Calcium

It took me at least a month after surgery to figure out which vitamins worked for me. I doubt I have enough space or time to provide a comprehensive list.

For me, not only was it the type of vitamin but time of day and whether I was taking on an empty stomach. (bad by the way).

I settled on Vitafusion gummies. Yes, they have a bit of sugar, but I couldn't tolerate any of the standard bariatric chewables or soft-chews. So, I considered it a trade-off I could live with. I stayed on the Vitafusion gummies until the 2 gigantic bottles I purchased were gone. Then, I changed to standard multivitamins, yes the giant horse pill variety. I take them with my evening meal and haven't had a problem.
