Vitamins making me nauseated



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else feeling nauseated after chewing the Vitamins. I am taking 2 Bariatric Advantage complete multiple formula, if so, any suggestions. I have been fine with food just this Vitamin issue. I am three weeks post surgery.

I had this problem about 10 days out of surgery - switched to a different brand (now using Opurity) and all is well. I did some research and found that many people have nausea problems with Bariatric Advantage.< /p>

Try taking them at night. You will sleep through any nausea.

I was on BA as well with the same problem, so much so that I could not get my Water in. I switched to Flintstones and now my energy is skyrocketed.

I bought the Celebrate bari chewable vitamins for after surgery, and they made me nauseated. It didn't matter what time of day I took them, on an empty or with food in my stomach... I always got this nauseated feeling and increased saliva production. 3 times I vomited and I said enough was enough. I switched to One A Day gummy vitamins. They aren't "bari" Vitamins, but at least I'm getting something in and I feel better.

I am on the fusion Vitamins 3 times daily. I cannot gag these Vitamins down. I am 18 days post op and the nausea hits when I take one. I get these from my dr.'s Ofc.

When he released me from hospital he said to take these:

1. Multivitamins plus Iron. 1 tab twice daily

2. Calcium citrate. 1200-1600 mg. 1 tab daily

3. Vitamin B12 sublingual

I'm the same ill feel sick after just the multi Vitamin everything I'm fine with. I take it at night and if I don't fall right asleep I start feeling it but I have learned if you take it and then eat something small like part of a Protein Bar you don't get sick.

II had purchased the opurity Vitamins. I took one on a Monday and felt sick and had hot saliva fill my mouth but didn't get sick. Thought maybe it was an empty stomach issue so the next morning I took it after eating and threw up in my trash can at work. I bought pre-natal gummie vitamins at Wal-Mart and have taken almost the whole bottle with no problems. I take the Viactiv calcium chews, really like the chocolate but not so crazy about the caramel ones. Just started taking Biotin but would like some feedback on dosage. I just picked a bottle since I hadn't researched it properly before I went to the store.

I was doing Centrum chewables and couldn't stand it. My dr said I could get non chewable and cut them if I needed to. Now I take Centrum for women under fifty- SAMs brand- and swallow them whole.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
