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..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
