Does anyone have a clue how I'm going to do that? All I can find are gelcaps, 5,000 iu's.

Rx is all they know. When it doesn't work, bear in mind that there is a D3-50,000

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.

Janet, don't buy the gelcaps -- they don't work for us RNYers.

Pat,

Why don't gel caps work for us RNYers? I have a prescription for vit D but also take a gelcap multi vit....

Gelcaps don't work for us because they take too long to dissolve. You should only take tablets that dissolve in water with in 5 minutes. This is what I have been told......I believe Darlene agrees.

I hadn't heard the five minute dissolve thing. I'll check mine out. Wonder about my Fish Oil capsule. . .

You'll get about 30% of the oil. If you want OMegas, it's Coromega. I tested it before, well, before it became easily available to the WLS world

Jan, Puritan Pride does have excellent products and I am not doubting that their gelcaps dissolve quickly......stuff you buy over the counter from say Wal Mart are not so good.

I was told to put a capsule in a glass of water, and if it doesn't dissolve within 5 minutes, we shouldn't take it in that form
