RE: Prenatal vitamin question

[Guest guest]

I've been swallowing pills since a month post-wls without problems,

even those honkin' calcium +D pills. I drink plenty of water with

them and they desolve easily. For the prenates I take One Source,

from Wal Mart. They are a smaller pill and you take 2 daily instead

of one big one. I also swallow and extra 1 mg of folic acid and iron

pill each day.

Follow your doc's instructions on pill taking, there may be a reason

he/she might not want you to swallow them.

Good luck,

Toi

I have been taking a chewable Prenatal vitamin. I just asked my doc

to prescribe one that was chewable to make it easier to get down each

day. The one I have is orange flavored, and really doesnt taste that

bad.

,

I take them whole with plenty of water but that might not be so for everyone. If

you have trouble swallowing then maybe you should look into other forms. Good

luck and best wishes to you!!
