I started taking my bariatric Vitamins only a couple days ago. I haven't had any problems, until today. I feel like one of the calcium's is stuck in my esophagus. In fact, I've tried to eat twice and my food just felt like it was stacking up on it, and eventually came back up! I had never even thrown up! Grrr! It's a little painful, too.

Has this ever happened to you? What did you do?

I have had the same issues. I switched to Vitamins called isotonic distributed by market America. I ordered Multivitamin with d but they have other great stuff including the minerals it is in powder form n taste great. All Ihave to do is fill up capful with Water n shoot. I also love the resveratrol.

Ok...so...goodness! How long did it take to go away! This feels like 3 hours, now! At least! I'm trying to swallow a little warm Water at a time...this is a real fun ruiner! I will remember this about the vitamins!

Do you still feel it? It should have dissolved by now.

I always either get chewable calciums or just chew up the tablets. The tablets taste bad but I'm not picky about taste. i sometimes chew up a chewable multivitamin with it to drown out the taste.

It's finally going away. Thank you. These are what my doctor gave me...a sample, I guess...and so I hadn't bought any. I'm going to get chewable a tomorrow. Seems like that would make a better sample for patients fresh out of surgery...

I cut my pills in half to make them as small as possible. That was my major concern after surgery. But I also hate that stuck feeling. Happened to me after I ate the other night and it took 45 mins for the feeling to go away. Thank goodness I was at work and could walk it off.

Well, I hadn't even thought of cutting them in half! DOH! I don't know why it even took me so long to figure out it was my pill that was giving me so much grief! I love this group! I wish I had found it way before the day after my surgery!

Be sure to get calcium citrate, it is more absorbable.

My Doctor recommended the Gummy vites and gummy fish. You have to chew them very well, but they don't get stuck. I also found sublingual B12 and Biotin.< /p>

Yes, that's what I have...I swear my dr said it needed to be 600 mg. in fact what he gave me has 600 mg. everything seems to be 500?

And as of this morning, I'm still a little afraid to eat bc even when I drink, it seems to hang there a half a second. Think maybe my esophagus or something is irritated or mad at me? ;) or at the very least a little swollen?

What brand of sublingual B 12 do you take? I bought some last Sat at the Vitamin Shoppe and they don't dissolve. I had it under my tongue for like 15 minutes before I finally chewed it. Aren't sublingual pills sposed to dissolve?

I went to Walmart and bought some drops. Natures best or something like that. In a yellow box.

      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.
