Chewable or Liquid Vitamins and B-12

Good evening everyone.. I have been reading over some papers from my surgeon so I can make a list of stuff I need for surgery and after. It says that I need Liquid or chewable Vitamins and B-12. What do you use? Liquid or chewable? What is better? I have heard that We absorb Liquid better. Is that true? One more thing.. I got 4 Xmas cards in the mail today.. Thank you everyone very much. Thanks, Kay

hi kay: i started with the kids chewable - knew i could handle the flavor. am now taking regular adult vitamins. my six month blood check was good so i'm assuming they'll be ok. dorthe oops, sorry, not too sure on the b12.

Hi Kay, I'm confused too on the B12 I always heard that we need liquid. But my doctor says that pills are fine. Go figure! I also take 2 childrens chewables. But I dont chew them I just swallow them. Good Luck Kay! willby

Hi Kay, I take scooby-doo's they rock! I like the chewables. Don't do the gummy vitamins they are full of sugar. I was fore warned by a nurse at where I had my surgery. Hope that this helps, Monica F.

I've "graduated" from Flintstones Complete (took them for 6 months .. two a day) to Centrum Silver chewables. They're huge, but scored to break into two pieces, and pretty tasty. They had more of what I needed than the reg adult Centrum (I guess cause I'm an old f*rt ... !Willby!, no comment on that!!! I can just see your little fingers poised on the keyboard ... hahaha ... "Myra called herself an old f*rt" ... hehehe) Also, I've found if I combine the Centrum Silver with my Caltrate, eating 1/2 each together ... it almost masks the yuck taste of the Caltrate. ! good luck!

OH ... forgot ... ... re: B-12 ... I started out taking it with my original surgery program ... one chewable per week. When I was "adopted" into my new surgery program at 18 days out ... long story see my profile ... they had me STOP taking the B-12 ... saying their policy was to watch my labs and only have me take it if my B-12 levels fell. So far ... I'm not taking it. Myra

Thanks for sharing what kind of vitamins you all take. Kay

Kay, I take Optisource from Walgreens. Some say you can only buy it online but they sell it in my local store. It has everything + iron, calcium, biotin(for hair loss) and it is a chewable that doesn't taste bad. I get my b12 through shots. They are 24.99 a bottle. Hope this helps. Nalani
