I don't really know why I thought I could handle the large multi-vitamins. But I guess I had a momentary lapse... Anyway, for two mornings now, I have tried to take a rather large multi horsepill. And have experienced nausaeu, dry heaves, and lots of sliming. I cannot take them anymore. I was sick to death of the flavor of the chewable vits, and threw them out when I got these. I had one of my daughters Gummy bears the other day, and it got stuck, so I don't think the gummy vit's are the trick either. I was thinking a liquid Vitamin because this is ridiculous!

My question is, what kind of Vitamins do you take?

Thanks!

Did you have food in your stomach? I get really nauseas when I took them on an empty stomach. I take gummy vitamins now though, for some reason with the pill form I kept forgetting to take them.

I hadn't eaten anything when I took them, because I usually wait to eat at work, because 7:00 is just too early for me to eat. I can't do the gummies because they get stuck. I'm looking into some liquids.

Good morning,

I take gummies for my Vitamins and Calcium. They wont get stuck as long as you chew them really well. Honestly, I look forward to them everyday like a treat so I think its gonna be gummies from here on out.

I take Centrum chewables for adults, only need 1 a day, and they have an orange flavor. Sure there is still a vitaminy taste, but tolerable. I also have to take a Calcium supplement- viactive chewable. I can't even tolerate the smell of liquid Vitamin. I imagine if I tried to take liquid, I would vomit. Those large horse pill vits are probably too big for your pouch.

I couldn't stand the liquid vit so I did the chewable ones for a while. I just switched to the nature made gel tab vit. They.r large but they go down... I can't stand reg pill vit the smell makes me gag & dry heave. I did gummies before being banded but Im scared they'll get stuck now...

      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.
