Vitamins make me sick



Recommended Posts

I am 35 days post op. All is going great with the exception of chewable Vitamins with my doctor recommends. I tried Centrum Silver chewable with food and they made my stomach upset. Doctor gave me a sample of Celebrate Bariatric Vitamins in his office, 30 mins later I had to pull on the side of the road (you know the rest). I also have a sample of Bariatric Advantage but now afraid to try. Any suggestion please.

I'm a big baby so I love gummies. . . I get my Vitamins from costco or Walmart in adult gummie. I take the following. . . gummie Vitamins for adults 2 ; sublingual B12 dots 2 ; gummie Vitamin D3 2 along with a weekly RX Vitamin D; Bariatric Advantage lemon chews Calcium 2; and Fiber advantage gummies 2; GNC Omega chews 2;

these are pretty good and i treat them more like treats. Now do realize they do have calories and carbs in them. . not much, but they do. . .so just be aware of that. . . also, I am 13 months out so i'm not sure if a newbie can take these. . . best ask the doc ok? Good luck!

P.S. The Bariatric Advantage vitamins are ok. The Calcium lemon chews are great, but the calcium isn't (tastes like chalk) the vitamins are ok, but taste like vitamins. . .

I had the same problem, I bought the Bariatric Advantage multi and Calcium and they are terrible.

I did liquid Vitamins until I could do pills.... I got the liquid form at "viatimin Shoppe"

Now I take 3 Bariatric Advantage mutli capsules a day, 6-8 calcium citrate petities, 2 chewable Iron and subling B12, and 1 bariatiric advantage boitin capsule

hope you find a solution that your tummy can handle..

      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.
