Chewable vitamins make me sick



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved May 14th and I've done really well but like others struggling with Protein. But also every time I take a Bariatric Advantage chewable Vitamin I get sick! I even take phenergren with it and I still throw it up. Does anyone else have this problem?? I go back for my 1st postop appt tomorrow. I will ask but didn't know if anyone else was given a substitute to try instead of the Vitamins?

I haven't had that issue but taking bariatric advantage's Iron chewable makes me sick. I've even tried just swallowing it, buy after a while it still comes back up

I take a Equate (Walmart braand) chewable complete Multivitamin and it goes down fine. No problems.

Check with your doctor if there is something else you can take. I had the same problem with my lap band, and he lets me take the flinstone chewable vitamins.

Centrum chewables was on my list of approved Vitamins to take. 2 of them daily. The orange flavor doesn't bother me one bit! Cheap, available @ Walmart and they work! Give em a try

I also got sick with every chewable Vitamin I tried (Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate, Trader Joe's brand, etc.). I took my prilosec before and it still didn't help.

I finally found a way that I can take them. I put them in my "cheek" to dissolve slowly like a sweet tart. It takes an hour or so to completely dissolve, but I get my Vitamins (slowly) so it doesn't upset my stomach. I like the Celebrate pineapply/strawberry flavor and Bariatric Advantage Orange flavor. Just find one that tastes good to you so you don't mind sucking on it for awhile. Good luck and hope this helps! :)

      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.
