Doctor is saying switch to prenatal vitamin instead of multi vitamin

I just went to see my surgeon for my 10.5 month follow up visit. Everything is going well; my bloodwork is all above average and I am down 127 pounds. My surgeon says he wants his patients to switch to a pre-natal vitamin from the chewable multi vitamin because its "just better for me". <p> Well the pre-natal vitamins he suggests at GNC are HUGE capsules. There is no way I am going to get those down. I researched a chewable on the internet, but they all seem to be prescription. I found a tablet version that I would have to take 4 pills a day, but when I compare the ingredients to my chewables they are virtually the same. The prenatal has a little more iron, but my chewable multi vitamins other ingredients seem to a little higher.<p> What are other long-term post-ops taking? I just wanted some other opinions. I figure if my bloodwork is above average than why change a good thing.
