Vitamins

[emr80 5]

Hi everyone... A lil concern on taking Vitamins. I was sleeved on 4/1 and yesterday my surgeon gave me clearance to have soft foods. Everything was great up until today. This morning I had my "bariatric advantage Multi Vitamins chewables" and as I'm driving to my destination I had to pull over to throw up a lot :-( I composed n cleaned up myself because I had to be somewhere for a short period of time but once I got home to shower I've been feeling under the weather not sure why. I didn't eat prior to taking vitamins I didn't think it was necessary N I think I would have been more sick. What are u guys doing to take vitamins today was my first trial n I'm scared to try again

I think you are getting sick. I never really "threw up" from something not settling, it was more of a regergetation (spelling) it kind of just comes up. and trust me I did that a lot!

My Vitamins never made me sick unless I took them when I already ate too much or was just on the edge of eating too much, but never threw up from them.

Hope you are feeling better.

Thanks for your response. I hope I'm not getting sick ???? I did call the surgeons office about 20 min ago n the nurse said its possible that my stomach is not ready for Vitamins so to wait for a couple of days n to try again if I still get the same effect they will switch me out to something different. I got a headache n that nauseous feeling afterward I don't even feel like eating bcuz of how nauseous I feel so maybe ur right I may be getting sick grrr

It could be your getting sick but it can also that u need to eat something before you take the Vitamin. Sometimes Vitamins are to strong for the stomach to diesgest. I take the same vitamins but they upset my tummy in the morning so I changed the time of day. I now take it before bed and havnt had any issues..Good luck to you:)

Try taking them after you eat.

I take Centrum liquid when I wake up. Started a couple of days after surgery. Works great. It's only one Tbs a day. I am one month post op and I have no prob.

[deputy630 34]

That darn multi Vitamin always makes me sick!! I never threw up but sure wanted to!! Someone suggested drinking a little Protein drink or some milk first and that as helped a lot!!

MrsG ya imma try eating something tomorrow before Vitamins actually I think I wanna try taking them at night

Logan ugh it must be the brand yes I was so sick all morning n now scared to try again but I knw I need my vitamins :-(

I need to take them with food or they upset my stomach (this was true prior to surgery also). So I do one with Breakfast and one with dinner.< /p>

When you search Bariatric Advantage, there are literally scores of threads of folks who can't tolerate the Vitamins (and even their shakes). Lots of stories of gagging and nausea. I'd suggest trying something else. My Nut recommended : different lines: BA, Nutrametrix, and Unjury Optipurity. I chose the Nutrametrix powders that are mixed with Water and taste like Tang. Not bad, high quality, and they haven't made me sick, even early on. Good luck!
