Can't keep vitamins down!

[Taylor Webster 28]

I am 8 days post op and I vomit every single time I take a Vitamin. I am taking everything separate and with a meal. I can't keep any of it down for even a few minutes. Help! does anyone have a suggestion?

Are you using a chewable Vitamin? If not that may help as the whole vitamin may be too big for you right now. I would also ask your Bariatric team for advice too

What kind are you taking?

I'm 4 days post op and take flintstones complete chewable (with iron) and they sit well with me. I take all of mine separate from each other..

Also, they do have liquid Multivitamins that may be better for you if nothing changes. (I prefer Vitamin shoppe)

Hope this helps.

I cut my Vitamin pill in half on my 1st attempt. I was afraid that the coating would be hard to break down. I didn't have any problem with the 1st half - after 5 minutes I took the other half. No problems. I am taking the Sam's club brand of multi-vitamins.

I am taking Celebrate chewable Multivitamin and Calcium.< /p>

I'm almost 3 weeks post op,using only liquid vitamins, they are nasty as heck but since I can only do liquids it works. I did have to search around but I got the iquid Calcium from Walmart and then Publix and Whole Foodss. Hope this helps

I wasn't allowed to start the Vitamins until 2 weeks out when I started moist and mushy. I had no problems with them - all chewable except for the sublingual B12.< /p>

I am taking Celebrate chewable Multivitamin and Calcium.< /p>

I can keep the celebrate multi down but the calcium ones make me very nauseous. The only time I vomited since surgery was after I took the calcium ones too quickly to get it over and done with. I feel your pain. If you don't change Vitamins then try and space them out as much as you can.

[Taylor Webster 28]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I am going to try the liquid ones and see if thats better.

I am almost 2 years out from my surgery. I still cannot take the bariatric Vitamins. Something in all of them makes me very sick. I have tried fusion, optisource, Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate. I finally tried gummy vitamins. i realize that they do not have enough of some of the items and I do take Vit b-12, d, and c supplements as well as Calcium. However, i feel that taking the gummies is better than nothing at all! Anyone else in the same boat?

I am pre-op and the Vitamin sample packs from Celebrate were the very first ones I tried. And I was stupid and took them on an empty stomach my first time taking them, so yup, I vomited within 10 minutes. I am going to have two backup plans: ENS shakes from Celebrate, and also liquid vitamins. I'll see what I tolerate best post-op. Good luck with the liquid vitamins!

Yes maam Melissa. I am in the same boat. I just eat Protein Bars that contain 50% of my Vitamins per bar. I cant take vitamins like Centrum but I am willing to try the flintstone chewables when I get back in. I have noticed that I start to go anemic because of lack of Iron but thats only when I dont eat enough food for a couple of days. It clears up after I eat on schedule

I take the bariatric support multi Vitamin in cherry flavor that's chewable. It about $16 at the Vitamin Shoppe for 60 pills take one a day. They are made for bariatric patients and is very easy to digest plus they taste good. The manufacture is twin labs. Hope this helps
