Can we absorb softgel vitamins

After undergoing successful WLS back in 8/08, i am pregant after 16 months of great weight loss.  My concern is whether or not we can absorb softgel vitamins or not?

I am a DS not a RNY but I know that we can not. Most soft gels are liquid based and dont absorb as well, but wait for some RNY'ers to respond!!

It depends on what's IN the softgel.  It's not dependant on what's on the outside.

So this may be sad, but I don't know ANYTHING about any of this stuff! LoL I guess I just assumed if I was taking it, it was working, so I do like to see questions like this and answers from the pros like Andrea as I find it so interesting.

So here's one... I take a Vitamin D softgel once a week that my surgeon prescribed to me as my levels were very low. I just assumed since my surgeon wrote the script it was a-ok. Am I right in my assumption Andrea?

Its always nice to assume our Dr.'s know what they are doing but an OB doctor might not compared to your Bariatric surgeon.  My pills consist of B-Vits, Folic Acid, Calcium, Iron and Vit C - i think there are some minerals in there too.  Its called Prenate-DHA

Gosh i am not even sure.  Here is whats listed as the ingredients for this softgel:  So i dont know if its fat based or what :)

Soft Gels of D never worked for me... Dry D did...

They are giving me EFA now that I am prego in the soft gel form... I presume its not working but I am still taking it and making sure I get some salmon or tuna in me 2x a week and an avacado in me on the off fish days... That way I am getting what they want me to have via real food too.
