Sudden Vitamin Problems

Am taking Bariatric Advantage, and suddenly, yesterday, after taking them for three weeks, I felt extremely nauseated right after I swallowed the Multivitamin. Is that unheard of? I can't imagine why an intolerance would happen so quickly after I had been taking them with no probs. I know others have said they can't take BA Vitamins due to the taste, but there must be another reason that would cause such a quick physical reaction after swallowing them. Any ideas?

I have to take my Vitamins right after I have eaten with a small sip of water.. Found out the hard way that just a shake or empty stomach was NOT a good idea..

Yes I agree with lessofme. I took a Calcium pill yesterday and spent the afternoon with the foamies. Urgh.

I was told to take a chewable Vitamin for 3 months and I was taking mine. It was chalky and started making me sick to my stomach so I started taking a Gummy kind and I can take those on an empty stomach and feel ok. My nutritionist said that gummies are not usually as good but I figure taking a gummy is better versus taking nothing or taking something and vomiting.

Same for me. But the recommended dose on the gummy bottle is 2 per day and I take them 3 times per day. This still puts me under the levels I would have gotten if I stayed with the surgeon recommended "Celebrate" Vitamins. So I've gone out to supplement with B6 & 12 and Biotin. (already take a separate Calcium too),

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
