Trouble with the bariatric chewable vitamins



Recommended Posts

Every time I try to take my chewable vitamins I end up incredibly nauseous or throwing them back up. This has happened with two different brands. I'm ordering a liquid brand to try to see if that helps. Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues and what Vitamins have worked best for you?

Why not just get capsules? Bariatric Advantage makes capsules. I take four a day. (dosage is six, but that's for RNY patients, since I'm a sleeve patient I only need four)

I didn't even think about trying capsules. Do you take all four at one time or do you take two twice a day?

I separate them out.. and take throughout the day and they don't have Iron so I can take them with my Calcium. You don't HAVE to separate them out, but I do because I think you absorb more of the Vitamins that way.

I bought from Amazon.com I paid like $40.00 for 540 capsules.. which works out to around 10.00 a month.

I'm taking the Wellesse liquid Vitamins (Multivitamin' date=' Calcium, and iron) and I really like them.[/quote']

That is the brand I just ordered earlier today. Glad to hear you like them! I hope they will work for me. :)

Vitamins make me nauseous also, if I take them early in the morning after Breakfast. I puke them up, unless I take them at night. For some reason my stomach doesn't agree with them in the morning. Try taking them after dinner. I take the capsule kind from "Celebrate".

I also struggled with the bariatric chewable and liquid multi vitamin... Because I am stubborn and refused to buy spend money on another Vitamin, I take small bites of the chewable, breaking into about quarters, and eat it throughout the morning. That has helped tremendously! Good luck!

I got the Celebrate calcium citrate in cherry tart flavor and its absolutely delish! The pills are quarter-sized but you only have to chew 3 daily. Very yummy :)

I got the gummy vitamins, and it's a HUGE improvement! I know not all docs allow them, but mine is ok with them and boy, am I glad!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
