at what point can I stop doing liquid and chewable and just swallow my vitamins....is the reason I am taking these forms only for the purpose of healing from rny (I'm 3 wks post op) or does it have to do with absorption?

i believe its only about waiting till the healing process has happened enough that swallowing something as big as a pill isn't dangerous.

Larger pills can get stuck. You want to be a few months out at least. Then start with smaller pills (like Vit D or Iron). I still take my multis in chewable a year out, because most multis are so freaking huge the idea of swallowing one scares me, through i probably could do them as i do the petites for calcium.
