Hello all, I'm preop at the moment, (my surgery is in one week) and was wondering if any of you take gummy multivitamins?  I suspect you need to chew chew chew but are they generally well tolerated?  Thanks for your help.

I think they may be too sticky to take. Take it from me you really don't want to get anything stuck in your pouch, that is if you are having a RNY. I should have looked. I don't know if it would be too small to get stuck though.

I actually take the gummy multi's from target - I just chew em till they're jelly and they go down fine - I always have some water ready though because my gag reflex pretty much sucks since surgery - I dont know why. I can chew chicken (dark meat only) and if I get one hint of fat I gag and can't eat the rest.  Maybe my body gags on things it knows I shouldn't have? (ie: fat)  Anyways - the gummy multi's go down fine if I remember to chew chew chew!!!

Last week I ate a dinner roll and I knew better but did it anyway and it got stuck, so I am a bit paranoid about things getting stuck right now. I have to be very careful about the sugar grams too.  If  nothing else last weeks experience reminded me I have to be careful of what I eat and chew chew chew!

One more thing - be careful when buying multi's ...I looked at one gummy and it had about 3g of sugar per gummy!! The target brand has like 1g per two or something. Dunno if anyone else has experienced this??
