vitamins and nausea



Recommended Posts

I am two weeks post op and was feeling pretty good until I started taking my vitamins/supplements. Started taking Calcium, B12, folic acid and a Multivitamin. The multi I was on for a few days and was ok. I think it has to be the folic acid or b-12. I feel like I have a lump in my throat and feel nauseated. I cant even take my other Vitamins bc of the way I feel. Anyone else go through this?

Started my chewables 3 days post op. it's a lot on the stomach without surgery let alone a basically empty stomach. Try after your Protein, heavier than water... And will coat your stomach.

That happened to me !! Make sure you eat something before taking Vitamin. I had to try a bunch before I found the right ones . I like the food concentrate Vitamins , they are easier on the stomach.

Hi,

I had the same issues..... I split my multivitamin in half and I take one in the morning and one in the evening. Also, you can try taking the rest of the supplements at other times. This has helped me, thank goodness!

Is your B 12 a pill you put under your tongue or you swallow? I was taking a B Vitamin you swallow and switched to the one that dissolves under my tongue. It is much easier on the stomach and it has a good taste.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
