I haven't tried to swallow any pills yet so for now I'm thinking of taking these until I get my first labs done and can swallow pills.....

I think that they are not actually "high" at all and have insufficient amounts of vitamins in them.

I'd not waste my time or money and I'd get the dry capsules from vitalady.  The A, D & K are actually very tiny and super easy to swallow.  The E is a smidge bigger, but not really "big."  I had no issues taking any of them post-op.

Waste of money, don't have anywhere NEAR enough of what we need, and taste like monkey butt.

What makes you think you'll have to wait till your first labs are done to be able to swallow pills?

I don't have to wait til 1st labs to swallow pills, I was just saying I'd take them til then. I have been having some slow going with food and liquids, it feels like it gets stuck right at the bra line, and have been afraid of trying to swallow pills. It's getting better over time and I may try swallowing some smaller pills to try it out.

You could also open the capsules of the dry vites and take them that way....dissolved in a bit of liquid or mixed with a spoon of yogurt or something.

I just don't know how I'm gonna get those huge calcium pills down or any or the others that are that big? I don't know which ones can be cut smaller and if that will even help at this point.

You can put them in a little bit of water or crystal light and they should dissolve then you can drink it down.

I can put any of the pills in some water or flavored drink and then drink it?

Yes, if they are capsules and you want to open them and sprinkle them in a spoonful of yogurt or whatever, you can do that too. The calcium will be a little chalky but they should dissolve with a little stirring. They can also be cut in half but I think that just makes them even harder to swallow because it gives them jagged edges. The Citracal petites are not hard to swallow. I never had any issues swallowing pills but you can try different ways of taking them as long as you get them down.
