I had my 3rd fill on Monday. I've been doing ok until last night. I had some issues with dinner but, they resolved themselves. Then before I went to bed I always take 1 of my medications and my daily Vitamin. I think the vitamin is stuck! It took a long time before I could go to sleep because of the chest pain. I figured it went down but, then I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I took a few sips of my Water and I spent the next hour back in pain and trying to throw up. Ugh! This morning I am not throwing up but, water wants to come up and there is no pain. What do I do? Will the vitamin disolve? Should I just wait a few hours and see if it resolves itself?

I haven't experienced that, but it sounds like maybe there's they filled to much. I use chewable Flintstone Multi-vitamins.

I was told no pills bigger than a peanut. lucky my meds are very small. And for Vitamins I take One a day gummies for adults. You are probably swollen due to dinner and pill getting stuck. Always a good idea to call your doctor for advise!!!!! Hope you feel better soon.

Flintstones Complete with CHOLINE. They are chewable, and they keep you pepped up.

I have been on them for 6 years now, and NO ! complaints here...

I think you should check with Doc.

But I can help with future, I was told I should take a liquid from now on and that plant derived works the best. This type will give you the best absorption rate, so you get he most for your money.

Thanks everyone! It finally either came unstuck or dissolved. But, I did not feel good for the rest of the day. I think things were swollen so I was only able to drink my Protein shakes. We'll see how today goes. Maybe they put a little too much Fluid in or maybe I just cant take these Vitamins anymore. I bought chewables last night. Not getting in that situation again!

On a good note I've lost 5 pounds this week! Yeah!

make sure to go on liquids for a day or so after a big stick like that - you're probably still a bit swollen.

      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.
