Vomiting after Vitamins



Recommended Posts

I'm a little over 2 months out, and that is when my surgeon recommends beginning a Vitamin regimen. I have a chewable Bariatric Advantage multi-vite that's supposedly formulated for sleeve patients. I have tried to take them on two separate occasions and I have only managed to hold onto them for about 5 mins before I'm overwhelmed with nausea and throw the whole thing up :angry:. They taste like orange sherbet to me, so the flavor is definitely not the issue. Has anyone experienced this? Is my stomach just not ready yet, or should I look for a different product? Any Vitamins you would recommend? Thanks!

Interesting that your doctor stated to wait 2 months. I started after a day or two home from hospital.

Agree that BA tabs are vomit inducing. I eventually got tired of it and switched to Celebrate capsules. The DV is 3 capsules. I found if you take all 3 at once, it also led to vomiting. I wanted to take all at once so I would not forget. Finally settled on a good Trader Joe high potency brand (200% of everything) which I could take without vomiting. Tasted good also! Worked really well for months. In the last couple months I have switched to GNC athlete men's daily Vitamin packs. They are really helpful once you get your athlete on. I would not recommend them until post 6 months though because tabs are big and you need to be comfortable with swallowing those. You also do not want to mess around with specialized Vitamins before getting the all clear from your blood work at 6 months. Hope this helps.

I take gummy vitamins that I buy at Walmart. I also take extra Biotin and Vit C.

Hi, have you tried taking it with food? I'm still on full liquids and my doctor told me now to start my Vitamins until I hit the puree stage since it can cause nausea. Sounds like trying another brand is a good idea. good luck with getting your vitamins in.

I had the same issue with my Celebrate bariatric combination of pills. I am 6 weeks out and this is whats working for me now... before I always felt like I was going to puke when I took any of my Vitamins other then the B12.< /p>

I curretly take UPCalD for my Calcium. I take it twice a day. Once in the morning with my Protein shake and once in the evening with some coconut Water. Its a power that has no taste and is meant to be mixed with drinks or food.

I have a celebrate b12 once a day under my tongue and have no issues with it... melts under my tongue and has a decent flavor.

lastly I take a flintstone Multivitamin twice a day and its taste decent I guess. I dont even need Water to take it... its chewable. My Dr told me after 6 months I can just take a once a day adult Multivitamin.< /p>

      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.
