Vomiting with Vitamins



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks out, every Vitamin I've bought so far taste horrible, I finally went and ordered the opurity (orange berry), I've taken them twice now once on an empty stomach and once an hour or less after eating. Both times within a min I'm sick to my stomach and have to run to the restroom to vomit. Any suggestions? The nutritionist said not to take gummies or Flinstones Vitamins but I took gummies before surgery and never had this problem. Vomiting is so flippin painful.

Have you tried liquid vitamins? I take Wellesse liquid Vitamins and have had no problems with them. I think they taste fine but if you don't like the taste, you can dilute it with juice or Water.< /p>

I take the Multi-Vitamin, Calcium, and Iron.< /p>

You also might try taking the Vitamin pills right before a meal or right before bed -- my dietician said those tricks work for a lot of people.

Most Multivitamins are recommended to be taken with a meal, I believe this is reduce nausea caused by them. I personally take my Vitamins immediately before eating Breakfast. Good Luck.

I second Wellesse. I didn't care for the taste post-op but you can at least mask/change the basic flavor with MiO or some other no calorie flavoring.

Give those a try...also most Walmarts have them, so no need to order online.

      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.
