Small sized nonchewable vitamins?

I'm sick of my giant chewable vitamins and don't like having to carry them around with me (otherwise, I end up forgetting to take them). I'm ready to move to a swallowable vitamin, but can't gag down those horse-sized pills I've seen. Anyone got a suggestion for a small or at least reasonable sized (say the size of a tylenol caplet?) vitamiin that fits the bill for a post RNY? Thanks!

Bariatric Advantage makes multivitamin capsules that I think are pretty small. You have to take six a day, which would be the case with any really small multi, I think.

I'm using the CVS Spectravite brand. They are not to huge (but not tiny either) and cvs often has a buy one get one sale.

I buy Centrum. They are the same length as a Tylenol rapid release gel-cap, but they are a little thicker. I can't take big pills either, (big is relative though...lolol. ) but I can take them with no problems. Those danged calcium citrate "petites" though...I choke on.

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...
