Throwing Up Chewble Vitamins!



Recommended Posts

I took Centrum chewables until about 7 months out and then I switched to Centrum pills. I'm pretty sensitive to Iron and will vomit because of that, so I always have something small right before I take my Vitamins. Usually it's a mini babybel cheese for me. That seems to be just enough to keep me from getting sick while still leaving enough room in my sleeve for my morning meds.

I saw this thread and just had to ask. Has anyone had the same reaction to the Celebrate Vitamins? I am 1 week post op and my NUT just recommended I start my Vitamin regimen with Celebrate Vitamins. Well I just took 2 multi and couldn't get to the bathroom fast enough to throw up. It was awful!

The ones I took were samples I received from the company. They don't taste great and I can see myself wanting to gag every time I try to take them. I really don't want to spend all that money on a 30 day supply if they are going to make me sick every time I take them...

I don't know what to do?!?!?

You are not alone! I spend almost $75 on the one month supply of chewable Multivitamins, Iron, Calcium and B12 and feel like it was a total waste of money. I am amost four weeks out and the MV and Calcium pills make me ill (then again almost everything required by my surgeon does at this point! :) ) so I am no longer taking them. I have a follow-up on 8/29 where this will all be discussed with my doc. He is going to have to supply an alternative so I can get started on a Vitamin regiment.

What is so funny is once upon a time I was known for my cast Iron stomach - NOTHING ever bothered me! Now, everything does!

I went to CVS and both the Women's One A Day gummies. I take 4 a day and then calcium chews I bought from Bariatric Advantage. I hope that is good enough. Hey it's better than nothing right?

Regarding the Celebrate I just started taking them a few days ago. I'm living in the Middle East and there are no chewable Bariatric supplements here so I ordered a 90 day supply online. The first few days they made me like rush to the sink because I need to vomit sick. It was over as fast as it happened though.

I spent a lot of money on them and honestly I'm getting desperate to find something I can take. So, I read more carefully and on the multi-vits it says to take one in the am and one in the pm (I only take the mv and Calcium plus). No wonder I was sick.

Today I tried seperating them more and I wasn't sick. Sure I was chewing on Vitamins 1/2 the day but at least I didn't get sick. I also personally don't find the taste bad at all. I have the strawberry pineapple multi and strawberrycreme calcium.

I have this problem too. I switched to Centrum chewable and it really helped. I have also heard of people having better luck with flintstone's chewables, but I never ended up trying those since Centrum worked for me.

I think it was just the super high values of Vitamins all at once kinda overloaded my system.

HOLY COW! I'm glad I stumbled on this! I thought there was something weird gouing on. I was taking the Orange flavored ones pre-op just fine, but post-op they make me feel naseuas for 10 minutes after taking them. I assumed I was already tired of the flavor, and switched to the tropical ones. So, far those haven't affected me yet, but man, I loathe those orange ones now. And I have a HUGE bottle of them at home. BLECK! :(

I am having the same trouble with the Celebrate Multi-Vitamin chewables. They make me gag - in food, before food, after food, chewed quickly, sucked as candy, dissolved. Ech. I am getting so frustrated. My doctor insists on chewable or liquid FOR LIFE. I see him in a couple of weeks and I'm going to beg for mercy and see if he'll let me take the celebrate dissolvable capsule at 8 weeks. ;)

Ditto for me with the Bariatric Advantage! I am 4 weeks out and they are the only thing that has made me sick (about 1 minute later everytime). I finally just bought some Fintstones and had no issues. Thank goodness I didn't stock up on them!

      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.
