Being 5 days out post op RNY today.  I decided to take my chewable Centrum multivitamin.  Should I wait 15 minutes or so before I drink my 1 oz of water?  Or will I still absorb the vitamins if I were to drink the water immediately after chewing?  Thanks for your advice.

Vitamins are absorbed in the small intestine, so it's fine to drink water with them.

Thank you.  They taste so bitter/sweet just can't stand the thought of not being able to drink water after chewing them.  Thanks for being here and helping me out.

I take so many vitamins and meds, I wouldn't have enough time in the day to take them all and still ge****er in.  Besides, as you say, some taste pretty bad!
