Capsule multivitamins

Hi this might be a dumb question. But here we go lol. So I’m almost 9 weeks post op and started to take the capsule multivitamin instead of chewables. On the bottle it says take with food. Well I will need to swallow it with water though. And since you can’t eat or drink within half hour how does that work? Thanks

I take mine with a sip of water like 10/15 minutes before I eat.

Or, if I am drinking a shake for I will just use the shake to swallow it.

I take mine immediately before breakfast, usually with my last swig of coffee. That being said, my plan doesn't prohibit drinking before food, only after. If you're advised to not drink before OR after eating, I would say try taking it after your meal, when you can drink again.

I'd just take it with a small swig of water either right before or after eating.

I used to take them a few minutes after I ate. A single swallow & then I’d not drink again for 30 minutes. If you have multiple tablets, spread them out across the day. I took one multi after breakfast & the second after dinner. Or I’d have them with a yoghurt drink.
