Multivitamin making me sick?



Recommended Posts

For the last 2 nights that I've taking my Multivitamin (Baratric Advantage) I have felt sick to my stomach, almost to the point of feeling like I was going to get sick. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I been taking these while I eat?

I think they're nasty. I gave up on them and got something from Walmart instead. A lot of people chew the flintstone or the gummies.< /p>

Yes, Vitamins often make people feel gross. I make sure to take mine with food. And I do better when I split my dose. (One dose is 2 capsules, so I take one in the morning, and one at night.)

Lots of people do better if they take their Vitamins at bedtime--that way, they sleep through any ickiness.

Even before being banded I would feel ill if I take my Vitamin early in the day or without food. Try taking them right after you eat (save room for them =). I take the wal-mart version of the flinstone Vitamins and haven't felt sick from them. Good Luck!

Oh, yeh! Vitamins (for that matter, any capsule or large pill) make me upchuck. I now take the children's chewable (embarassing, but true!)

I stopped taking my Vitamins because I bought 3 different ones and they all made me regurgitate even with food. I don't know why but I've decided not to take them anymore. Last ones I took were Bariatric Fusion and they taste great but didn't make me feel great.:smile2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
