I'll do my second multi and other dose of calcium in a little bit. I also need to do my magnesium oxide soon.
I take my iron a vitamin C at bedtime. And somewhere before bedtime I need to get my third dose of calcium in. I liked taking my calcium a lot more when I had some of the candy ones. Money is a little tight right now though and it's hard to justify the expense.

But I do have a silly question. At what stage am I able to take a pill vitamin post op? I'm reading a lot about chewable or dissolvable vitamins. Are those something I should get for the first few weeks out of surgery? I don't usually have a problem with pills, but my multi is somewhat of a horse pill, so is my calcium.

The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery saysyou can take pills you swallow whenever you can tolerate them. Of course, you won't know if you can tolerate them or not until you try it. I had no trouble taking pills right after surgery (swallowed them the same day I had surgery, in fact) but you might want chewables instead of the big horse pills at least for the first few weeks.
