Vitamins make me nauseous



Recommended Posts

I am 3 months out from my surgery, but am already feeling anxious about all the Vitamins that we need to take.

Currently, anytime I take a multi Vitamin it has to be with a meal or I will get sick to my stomach.

Any recommendations on how I can take all of these vitamins when I'm supposed to be on basically a liquid diet for 2-4 weeks post op?

Thanks for any advice you might have!

Try taking with something other than Water like juice or milk. Second option, see about getting liquid vitamins. Even after surgery on liquid diet you can take regular Vitamins. Some people get gummy vitamins. I think last resort is to get a mortar and pedestal and crush the pills then put into applesauce or mix with water.

I was having problems with the same exact thing. I just went to costco and bought their Gummy Vitamins. They are AWESOME. They even taste just like gummy bears. i would suggest to give them a shot, they haven't made my stomach hurt at all!

I was taking Flintstones Complete for the first 2 months out from surgery and had no trouble tolerating them at all... then I ran out and tried taking the bariatric formula samples I recieved in the mail and also a regular women's one a day and they both made me very nauseous. I think I may be going back to the Flintstones!

      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.
