need help, 2 weeks post-op

I am two weeks post op now and everything has been going smooth until yesterday. My doctor told me to start taking 1600 IU of vitamin D, so I went and bought soft gell vitamin D, 400 IU each. So everyday I will need to take 4 of them. Although the soft gell vitamin is small, when I swallowed them one after one, I felt that they get stuck in the pouch and I did feel sick for some 5 minutes. I tried to drink water to make the stuff dissolve, it took a while but it went through later. Few days before, I took Colace stool softner and the soft gell is slightly bigger, it went through without a problem. Is this normal? is the pouch opening getting smaller a bit? I went out last night and bought tablet form of the vitamin D so I can break it in half next time. I am scared Today I am supposed to start the pureed food phase and I am scared to try this phase. Any advice please is urgently needed.

hi when i was post-op my doctor told us to take caltrate 600-d chewables,the fruit flavored ones. ask them about taking them it would easier for you.i am 5 years post-op and still take them.

At about two weeks pills would be harder to swallow. I'd get chewables yet at this point. At two weeks I noticed things going down a bit harder too, but I think it was just a bit of swolling and it should subside in a week or two. Just keep an eye on it. If liquids become hard, go get it checked out.

Hope everything get's better for you. Well I'm 1week 3days post-op. My Dr. has me on a liquid or chewable vitamin, I chose to take the liquid. So far everything is good, I had lap-band surgery.
