I hate the taste of the kids chewable vitamins. They leave a terrible taste in my mouth. So I went today and bought some regular target brand women's. Vitamins. They were kinda big do I broke it in half b4 I took it. About 5 min later I got really nauseous and had the "slime" for the first time. I also had one of the body shaper cami's on for the first time. Has this happened to anyone else? Was it the Vitamin or the Spanx cami tight on my belly?

Also I'm 3 weeks post op...

I take Bariatric Fusion chewables that I buy from my surgeon. I'd like to take something different because I have to take 3 a day and they are kinda hard, it takes me forever to chew them up because my teeth are sensitive.

I enjoy almost all of my Vitamins. Here is what I take:

  • 2 Daily gummies (from CVS)
  • 2 Vitafusion Calcium (sugar coated Gummy vitamins) Yummy!
  • 1 Oderless Fish Oil (1200 mg) - This is not chewable and it is about as the big as the fish it comes from. This is the only one I don't like.
  • 1 Vitamin D Chewable Gel (from Metagenics-Bariatric Advantage) (10,000 IU)
  • 1 sublingual B-12 (from Natures Bounty) (2500 mcg)

Most of these you can find at your local pharmacy or drug store. I couldn't find the high dosage of Vitamin D and B-12 at the store so I bought them on eBay.

Hope this helps!!

My doctor told me to wait until 5-6 weeks before switching from a chewable Vitamin to oral. I also hate the chewable kind, Gummy or sugary, can't stand them. I use the Centrum Women's Petite's - mainly because of their size. Granted I have to double the dose, but they've never caused me any discomfort. Also, be sure to take them with a Protein Shake or food. I usually get it down with a little bit of Water a few minutes before eating and it's fine.

      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.
