Gummies also contain carbs, which are best avoided after surgery.

I was told it's ok to take D3 in capsule form. It's a liquid inside a little gel cap, so it goes down no problem. I bought the 1000mg strength and take two each day, I figure these are smaller than the 2000mg size.

Thanks! I'm gonna look into that!!! I'm just not sure how to get all these supplements in when you aren't supposed to swallow anything solid for a while. Lol

I got the OK from my surgeon to swallow regular pills as soon as I returned home from surgery. I had to cut the larger vitamins up into several pieces, but I could swallow them one at a time with a sip of water and a few minutes in-between. It took AGES since I'm on several meds for bipolar, but I had no trouble with them right out of the gate.

Many calcium supplements-- which we're recommended to be on-- also include D3 to improve absorption. Caltrate makes several types, including these chewables that you can pick up at the drugstore.
