Vitamins

I'm 3 wks post op and my Dr. has me starting my Vitamins. I'm on a chewable children's multi, Calcium, Vit. B-12, Vit D. The B-12 & D are not chewable so I have to crush them. Any one else having to crush their vitamins? How are you getting them down so it doesn't taste so bad? Any ideas/suggestions welcome!!!:thumbup:

By the way, check out Puritanspride.com for vitamins! They're increadibly cheap and fast shipping!

P.S.--FYI--I'm also on Biotin which is supposed to be great for hair & nails, my nurse suggested it.

i am not crushing anymore... i take supergrams for vitamins and have had no problems with restrictions etc... i am 2 weeks postop and i am sticking to soups and low glycemic veggies..... i'm down 30 lbs since my start of preop liquids... 2morro i go for my 2 week postop checkup.... i was also filled on surgery date 2cc's i believe...

i'm on flinestones with Iron chewable..they aren't bad.

also, viactiv (which are chewable).

for my other meds, i just cut them, not crush them.

I take an RX vitamin because of a clotting disorder I have(has some extra stuff in it) and it doesn't come in a chewable form. I have taken mine whole since the day after surgery. It isn't particularly large though, kind of long and skinny.
