I am 10 weeks post-surgery. I have lost 59 lbs. I am still having nausea. I was taking Zofran. I figured out through a process of elimination that the Vitamins and Protein were causing the nausea. So I stopped taking them and the Zofran for two weeks. The nausea stopped. Now, I have tried everything I can to try to re-introduce the vitamins and protein back into my diet. I can get the protein in. But not the vitamins. I cannot tolerate the after taste and I end up throwing up within a half hour of taking the vitamins. It doesn't matter when I take them or if I take them with food or without. I have also tried the liquid. I just cannot seem to tolerate the chewable or liquid stuff. Can you tell me if there is a pill I can take to get the vitamins in? Please be specific with Brand, dosage and where you bought them from. Thank you!

I would talk to your doctor and see what he recommends. Every doc is different and you want to make sure you follow their rules.

With that being said you do have options. My Vitamins are powder form and go into my Protein Shake. The name is new life bariatric supplements. My doc also suggested prenatal vitamins.

Please talk to your doc. The Vitamins r a must so they have to figure something out. I also have some that can be mixed in a drink they look like crystal light but u can drink them. Ask your doc first.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
