Swallow or chew?
If we CAN swallow multi vitamins and have not ill effect, like pain, is it ok to do so? Meaning, does the swallow form of a vitamin still absorb as well as chewable ones?
I hate the taste of chewable vits, so I have gone to swallow ones, just want to know they are working.

Chew or swallow. What counts is what's inside the pill in question. If it's the wrong type, say vit D, it doesn't matter how you use it. Only D3 in a dry form works for us. So, if it's in a soft gel, like the rx or common ones, it is the same as nothing to you.
I also would rather not have to "taste" my vites, so just swallow them since day 7 after surgery

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery says it is fine to swallow vitamins if they go down OK.
