Chewable Vitamins
I am in the process of completing the requirements per my insurance to get approved for surgery. I still have a couple of more months Dr. supervised weight loss visits but do not forsee any problems getting approved since my insurance policy has the requirements outlined in detail. I do not like swallowing vitamins at all and am happy that there are chewable vitamins since it's so important to my sucess. My question is: I want to start vitamins now since I am currently on a weight loss plan. Can I use the Optisource vitamins before I have the surgery? I already have to take 7 different meds in addition to a shot twice a day now for diabetes, etc so I really hope I can take the chewable vitamins now because I do not want to swallow anymore pills if I don't have to, especially a large multi vitamin. Does anyone know the answer to this?
I started my vitamins a few weeks before surgery, I have Bariatric Advantage chewables. I'm with you on the swallowing part....I HATE HATE HATE taking pills.
There is nothing wrong with taking them before- in fact, I think it's a good idea, because once you have surgery, you body will be 'shocked' by very low caloric intake for a few weeks, so imo it's good to have the best vitamin levels you can.
