Ahh no to both! Celebrate calcium in chewy caramel is the one for me, or the Bariatric advantage in caramel, or the creamy bites in lemon flavor. I like vitamins as treats too, but I like the chewy caramel most, maybe because I can suck on them.

Please don't chain me up next to Grimm, at least not without bacon. lol

Oh, I love those freaking caramel ones... LOVE them a bit too much. They trigger me and I find myself thinking about them way too much! BUT did I mention that I LOVE them??

After the first week, you would start to look delicious.

Some of the multi or calcium are huge. So after a few got stuck ... I used chewables close to 3 years post op. Don't like the fillers but I liked the taste and taking chewables meant I took them.

If you have no problem with pills - take pills.

i take my vitamins religiously but would love to switch some back to regular pills. I take other meds in pill form and have no problem but calcium and multi vitamins in particular are large so I was wondering for the vets specifically if you ever switched back to pill form or stay on chewable/gummy?

I have been taking pills ever since the day I passed my leak test with no trouble.

I never had to take chewable pills/ vitamins. I was swallowing whole pills before I left the hospital. The only advise I was given was to take the pills one at a time and NOT to try and swallow a whole handful.
