Vitamins - how did I miss this one?

While in the hospital I was given a regular multi-vitamin pill, not my normal flintstones chewable.

I asked my surgeon about that. She says " you only need to be on the chewable directly after rny surgery. She say's it's listed in your notebook. No you don't need to take chewables- they're awful tasting......."

Sure enough I look through my notebook. How did I miss that one?  We are allowed regular multi-vitamins after 3 weeks post-surgery.  With DH and I both taking the flintstones they'll be gone soon- the big bottle from Sam's club. 

I look forward to getting rid of the chewables.   Yahoo!

Emily, with my Band I take a chewable, but not children's.  I can't swallow pills very well, my HBP med is small and I have to cut that in 1/2 and I still feel it wanting to get stuck.  I hope I don't get prescribed too many pills in my future.  will have to crush or get liquid.  do you take it twice a day?

Yuppers.....I actually got to go off the yucky chewables after two weeks - haven't looked back - been taking horse pills ever since with no problems.

Guess I'm the weirdo around here still!!!!!!!  I still take my Centrum Chewables and I STILL like them!!!!!!    Just call me weirdo!!!!!!!!  (I deserve it!)  haha

Ruth,

You can still do the Adult Centrum Chewables, but not the children's flinstones. 

I still take those too and I like them too.  Twice a day

I  am  weird too  I guess I  get mine at cotsco  when i am  near one  they are sugar free children complete  i love them

I loved my chewables when i was a kid and was mad when they made me go to  one a days lol  now i get to have two lol

have a great day all

yup i stopped taking mine after two weeks, it was bothering my stomach,, my stomach is wierd and very senitive.. i take the walmart brand of womens day with 18mgs iron. glad to hear you are feeling alot better

I finished the last of my Centrum chewables and then switched to pills a while ago.  I was cleared for pills at 2 weeks out by Dr. L...switched my calcium citrate chewables at that time because they were nasty.

Im with Ruth I actually like my Centrum Chewables lol. Probably in my head but I feel the chewables get absorbed easier in RNY patients cause they are already all crushed up.Just my opinion though.
