Is every one using chewable or liquid multivitamins? I've tried the different flavored chewables I received from my doctor but they have been gross. I'm wondering if I could just swallow a pill.

 Try Vitafusion adult gummies.  They are very yummy!  They are inexpensive too.

My nutritionist said no gummies. At first they told me children's chewables. But now I'm to take a regular multivitamin with minerals. I don't mind cutting it in half but I end up half taking the nasty chewables. Thanks y'all! I love this forum.

 What is the reasoning behind no gummies?  Hadn't heard this before and I have been taking them over a year now.

He said they didn't have the mineral content needed. I never checked for myself. They said it was ok prep but not post op. I know each surgeon has their preferences.

I did chewables at first , but then switched to pills just fine.
Some of the bigger ones I had to split in half for a while.
I was taking meds by pill form as soon as I left the hosp.

 Oh well, I think I will stick with them at this point because all my labs are stellar with them.  I had originally decided to go back to regular vitamins after the initial post surgery period, but now since I look forward to taking them, this helps me to be regular about taking them every day.
