I find if I swallow it with milk that helps a lot.

Been on it for a month and only once had to spit it out. It is vile, but if you take it like Kizzy says it's usually fine..

You shouldn't be. Forceval is the only really suitable multivit that will give you all you need each day. Try leaving them out of the wrapping for a few hours as this softens them up. Do not take this lightly we are incapable of absorbing all we need from our food and vitamin deficiency has very very serious consequences trust me. Stick with it

I will say when I first started on the horse size forceval tabs,they made me sickly but you get used to it and they are fine now.
But I do place all my vitamins/iron/calcium in my tablet dispenser and they do soften.
I would say keep with it,taking them as some other vitamin tablets(ie..chewy ones)ive heard people take are more for children and not good enough for us bypassers.

Take them with a spoonful of yogurt 
it helps them slide down & coats your tum at the same time as Karl says, they are essential & anyone who isn't on them needs to see their doctor to get them prescribed ... xxx

I wasn't given them till 2/3months out so by that time I never had a problem but I always put them in length ways in hopes they will just slid down, it probably makes no difference lol.
Hope you find them easier soon hun x

Hi
Must admit I have not had any problems taking Forceval but I have had a bypass so the pouch is probably bigger than your sleeve so it can sit there untill it desolves, with a sleeve I can easily see it getting stuck. There are quite a few multi vits out there that are a lot smaller than Forceval and it might pay you to take something else for another month or so as you might be having these problems as your sleeve might still be a bit swollen as you are only a few weeks out of surgery. Take something else for another month and then try the forcevals again, also try to take them with more fluid if possible, as long as they are not getting stuck or else the extra fluid will only have one way to go, and that's back out the way it came in.

I thought a bypass pouch was an egg size,and a sleeve is more like a banana shape,therefore sleeves are able to hold much more food?
Or am I wrong? Just curious x

Yes left it out for about 90 minutes, felt soft to the touch.
Glad I posted, yet more first rate advice from this wonderfull forum.
