kamrie37 134 Posted July 7, 2012 Ok, I tried a liquid mulit.. made me sick. I bought the Bariatric Advantage chewables, made me sick. What kind are you all taking? I need something that isn't going to make me throw up each time I take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmw10000 35 Posted July 7, 2012 If nothing else try the Gummy vites at least it will be something they also make gummy Calcium its worth a try. I don't get sick but I really hate chewable vitamins...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PJones 1 Posted July 7, 2012 I take the one-a-day gummies also. I hope you feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Back~To~Amy 307 Posted July 7, 2012 I don't know how far out you are or if you ate able to take pills. I had to get another pain med 4 days out and my doctor had no problem with my request for a pill so long as my sleeve could handle it. It handled it fine and I've been taking all my meds and vitamims/supplements in pill form since. I hope you feel better soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cookies 56 Posted July 7, 2012 I do just the Centrum chewables. Well, actually, I do the CVS "imitation" Centrum chewables which taste even better than the Centrum ones. I love them. I always take them with a meal to help make sure there are no tummy issues, but I haven't had any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kamrie37 134 Posted July 8, 2012 Ok, went to Wally World and bought the One A Day VitaCraves gummies. So far, so good. I just ate two of them about 5 minutes ago and not nauseous yet. The Bariatric Advantage ones make me sick w/in about a minute or two.. no joke. So, how are these as far as Vitamins are concerned? Are they ok? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HopeThruFaith 30 Posted July 8, 2012 I couldn't stomach the chewable so my surgeon told me to take capsules. I can get them down ok but have to take them with food or else I'll get nauseous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piplula 709 Posted July 9, 2012 I take two Flintstones Complete everyday. I couldn't tolerate that nasty bariatric chewable vitina at all, but the Flintstones are fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kamrie37 134 Posted July 9, 2012 I bought the Gummy ones VitaCraves.. but I think when these are gone, I will get Flintstones and give them a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traceyc 89 Posted July 9, 2012 The Centrum chewables made me sick so did the Bariatric Advantage. I have been taking the Vitafusion multi gummies. No issues so far. I doubled the dosage to more closely match the bariatric advantage one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrincessDaffodil 30 Posted July 9, 2012 I know exactly where you are coming from! Multivatimins always make me sick. Women's one-a-day, even the prenatal Vitamins. I use to take children's chewable, but they didn't have all of the stuff I needed. I think it is the Iron that makes me sick! But, I'm not entirely sure.

Debvzw 48 Posted July 10, 2012 I also get sick taking any Multivitamin on an empty stomach. I have found though that if I take the same Multivitamin right after I eat, I don't get sick. So I suggest try taking them right after a meal and see if that helps the nausea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veda 12 Posted July 10, 2012 I took Bariatric Advantage during preop, because the doctor's office made the patients buy them (about $500 extra). I gave all of it away since it made me sick too. The last time I got sick to my stomach was the night before surgery after taking the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins. Threw up 3 times that night - awful. If you search this site for Bariatric Advantage, you'll see that you are not alone! Although the doctor's office wanted me to buy more of it after surgery, I flat out refused. Seems like a money-maker for the surgeon's office... Since sugery, I only take gummy vitamins at night before bed. I've been fine with them. Glad you're feeling better!!

kamrie37 134 Posted July 10, 2012 I can't believe they made you buy them! What a scam!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
