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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
