I take whatever I CAN ( I too have a problem swallowing even w chewables )
Try to get multis and vitamin c in no matter what first. The vit c staves off inflammation, infection even tooth loss causing gum disease ! And whatever form ( chewable tablets are my favorite ) it tastes like candy 
Also iron is super important for energy - there are chewables of ferric sulfate etc ... NEVER elemental iron our post op bodies wont absorb that.
I take a magnesium chewable too occasionally to stave off muscle cramps. Eating high potassium fruit like bananas or drinking apple cider works like this too.
((())) good luck
Im pain free - carless homeless but GOD thank U diabetic foot pain free

Hi, I'm from Alaska. But I have a friend in Arizona who has really been struggling trying to keep her vitamins down. She has been diagnosed with malnutrition. I am trying to find a vitamin regimen for her with mostly chewable vitamins or liquid? Or small pills. Anybody have any recommendations?

I ate just a few slices of turmeric root pan roasted and deglazed w chicken stock.
Still tasted awful ... but most importantly .. it seemed to WORK !!!
As usual Ive been abusing my poor feet walking incessantly in NYC and usually by the end of the day theyre swollen and VERY painful and sensitive including the bottoms which makes it very difficult to drive .
Post turmeric I immediately noticed a difference - just much less sensitivity and pain .
Its only been a few days and Im feeling less and less burning, hypersensitivity ( in a bad way- feeling my way with my toes and feet feels perfectly normally functioning ) .
If this isnt imaginary 
( there is such a thing as the placebo effect.... its really effective , even miraculous . I'm used to taking ( and paying outrageous sums for ... ) 400 mg of Gabapentin per day ! 
supposedly to help reduce the pain and regenerate the nerves in my feet . The turmeric seems to have done better seemingly overnite 
You're absolutely not crazy, many of us have delayed those milestones for similar reasons, and it's never too late to build the loving family and future you've always wanted.
Tom Hanks appearently is a huge fan ..and other celebrities give free testimonials too...
I know a very smart and knowledeable male operating room nurse of Barbadian origins who also swears by turmeric ( delicious when added to stews ) garlic, ginger, ginseng n tea ... and well he got his unvaccinated self and his unvaxed family through working exhausting overtime hours in the high danger ward during Covid and his autistic child was ( and is ) attending regular school every day since it was allowed - no infection ever nor flu nor colds ... hmm 
Have U ever tried this ? What were Ur results ? thank you !

Since being back in Manhattan ( well, greater NYC 
) Ive been slowly connecting with my actor/bartender/ chef friends ... who are a hard- partying crowd .
I was kind of afraid Id get caught up in that but no ... I guess all these years later my priorities are in a different place .
Gardening ( especially w sweet lil companions , the furry or the children kind ) , sailing , a clean safe home , creative well paid career and finally the world travel Ive always dreamed of are my NOW priorities .
Frankly the New York Times INFURIATES me .
I STILL cant read the article because their persistent popups demanding money for a " free trial " etc keep blocking it .
I hope they realize their choices are on the fast road to bancruptcy .
Too bad so sad for a worthy publication.
For many years I've been harboring a secret ... the wish to have biological children of my own despite being overaged.
I've had to struggle very hard to rise up economically from literally nothing ... and I missed out on a lot of chances to date n mate especially my intellectual and economic peers . Feeling grossly overweight and unattractive didn't help.
Now Im out of " age range" .
Yeah 29 year olds want to date m but I'm a generation older and cant forget their Mum's struggles with these lazy entitled often ( seriously ) murderous tv game playing basement-dwellers .
I preserved my eggs but need 2 use them soon.
Cant talk about this secret yearning for a baby or even two with ANYONE ... my family would LITERALLY consider me crazy .
I DID take in and foster two illegally dumped over the border tiny babies a few years ago . They were SO beautiful , cuddly, eager to learn and play ... and after a few years their parents came and they were united . My heart broke 
.
Am I crazy to think that at my age ... with loose skin, bad habits , set in my ways I can mebbe find a mate and have a family ?
Can anyone relate ? Im surely not the only person here who put off " normal " life milestones because they felt unattractive ....unloved ...financially not ready ... isolated 
Kris ? Kardashian ( the Momager) 's recent facelift results seem amazing - and her surgeon uses ( but very well) the mostly skin lift older technique .
But then again that whole clan never puts out an unretouched photo ... so who knows how she REALLY looks now ?
Id love to see some candids from a red carpet somewhere that she can't control ... Im noticing that other than that ONE photo we havent seen anything with her in it in WEEKS ! 
If she really DOES look younger I wonder if she'll get rid of the financial user ( and quite unattractive ) present boyfriend lol.
