Question Vitamins & other stuff

I found Hot Wheels vitamins (& Barbie ones for the girlie girls) at Walmart. They are the thin little sheets that dissolve on your tongue immediately. Has anyone tried those? I don't know if they have all the needed vitamins, but it sure dissolves fast, and turns my tongue a beautiful green color. (Barbies turn it pink!) The other thing I found at Henry's was a cherry flavored liquid multivitamin and multimineral. I haven't tried it yet, just wondered if anyone else has tried them.

And, does/did Propel make anyone else sick to their stomach preop?? I work with a nurse who said my body doesn't like what it has in it. Fortunately, I only got a couple of bottles.

Default Sounds great

Anything that disolves on your tounge is sure to be absorbed right? So it sounds way better than chewables since bypass patients have absorption issues.

Propel sits just fine with me. I love the stuff! About the vits, I dunno on that one. Take them with you when you preop and see what the Dr has to say about them.

The liquid stuff, I tried it and I HATED it. Now Kim takes liquid vitamins and loves them. I guess it depends on your taste n stuff. Good luck lil lady!

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
