When is it ok to start oral vitamins??

Hello!!

I am 8 months out. I have an apt for my 9month check up, but wondering when people got the ok to start taking regular multi vitamins? I am still on the bariatric chewable. I can't stand the thought of putting another one in my mouth!! :)  I have tried some of the children vitamins also. I just can't tolerate them anymore. I am going to ask at my next apt, but wanted to get a general idea.

thanks for the help!!

The ASMBS says that we can swallow pills from day 1.  My surgeon wanted me to wait for 6 weeks to take pills and to take chewables for the first 3 months.  

So, in my non-professional opinion, you should be good to go now.  

I was taking pills the day I got home from the hospital , but my nut prefers chewables , says they are digested better with our small stomachs I use Kirkland(Cost****ids chewable

but I take regular calcium citrate from Walmart 

I was allowed to swallow pills at one month.  I take a regular multi vitamin by Nature Made.

I waited one month before taking vitamins or whole pills, now everything goes down easy. Wishing all the best.

I was required to wait 6 weeks before I was allowed to take whole pills.  When I got the okay,  I chugged my pills down all at once (and there were a lot of them). 

thanks for all of the input!!
