Just wondering what type of Vitamins everyone is taking post-op? I know since we are all restricted on some of the good nutrition we get, I am curious as to what everyone is taking.

Obviously I don’t want to take vitamins the size of horse pills...ouch!! (they will get stuck VERY easily, as you all know)!

I tried pre-natal pills, but......they seem to make me crave things? Could just be me???

Thanks for your reply...

:tongue2:

Chewable vitamins are best.

I am on a daily vitamin (Flintstone vitamins) and Calcium (Caltrate chewable).

I take spectravite orange chewable adult vitamins. They taste good to me. I get them at CVS or Rite-Aid (I can't remember which one).

I also take a sporadic calcium supplement but only on days were I don't have any milk, yogurt, cheese which isnt often.

I use chewable children's complete vitamins and chewable calcium by Naturemade

I use walgreens brand A thru Z adult chewable...orange flavor.... two viactivs a day... I will start taking those when I move onto hard protein right now I am having cottage cheese and ricotta ALL the time... plus shakes too....

I take Centrum Chewables. They don't taste bad and chew up really fine. I also take a vitamin D suppliment. They are small pills (a little smaller than a pea) but I am too worried about them getting stuck so I cut them open and squeeze the vitamin out into some food.

I have already started taking my post op vitamins to get used to the chewables. I take 1 Centrum adult chewable and 2-3 Tums a day for the calcium. After surgery I'll add in some type of fiber supplement, like metamucil and pepcid for acid control.
