Hi all!

I am 6 weeks post op and am having serious troubles with the chewable viatmins. They taste terrible and I don't know how much longer I can handle it. Does anyone know when I can start taking Vitamin pills? I am allowed to take my meds in pills form, but I wasn't sure about the Vitamins.< /p>

Thanks for your help!!

Nora-I feel your pain on the chewables. I actually vomited for the first time today within 2 minutes of my Calcium chewables. I took them too fast to get it over and done with and paid for it. I'm going back to the Gummy version I had pre-op and just chewing like crazy. But you might want to try that route if you can't do pills.< /p>

I used to take my 6 year old multi vitamins.. They were prescribed by her pediatrician.. They taste like hell.. Lol yesterday I brought flintstone with Iron .. They are peach, grape, cherry, and orange flavored... So far I have taste peach and grape.. I just hate the chalky after taste. They really did give me a energy boost.. I been feeling like blah the pass few days and these helped.. I'm going to ask my doctor can I switch to gummies on my next doctors appt .. Hope I helped

I tried and tried to deal with the Bariatric Advantage chewables but the taste just made me gag. Tried Centrum and they were also vile. I eventually gave up and bought gummy vitamins :P

As soon as I could eat regular food I went back to my regular Vitamins and didn't have a bit of trouble. And mind you, I take 6 solid Vitamin pills. Good luck. If anything I would try one and see?

I'm ten days out and I only use pills, no chewables. Your stomach is fine to absorb them. (:

Just take a break between different pills. Don't stack them up in your sleeve.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
