I hate my chewable bariatric Vitamins also. I crush them and add them to a spoonful of applesauce. Much easier for me to eat this way. Good luck.

Wow... I just read that post, I don't think I spelled one word correctly. I think I was still a little shaken! Thanks for the advice, good idea!

I have taken the gummy vitamins since my surgery and I always take them with something on my stomach. My other pills I used to crush after I had my surgery for a while until my dr said it was ok to swallow. Hope you can get it down one way or the other!

You can get Calcium and Vitamin D in chocolate, that tastes similar to a chocolate! Multi Vitamin in Orange flavor. Try to get the other pills in smaller sizes...If you have to take 2 it is better then trying to swallow a large pill!

Wait a few days or a week and try again. I tried too soon and aggravated things and then had to go to nothing but Water until things calmed down again!

7 days post op, supposed to start taking Vitamins today. Tool one and puked my guys up! Any advice?

I haven't had my surgery yet but I can tell you I have a hard time taking Vitamins, I always feel nauseated and often throw them up. I've tried eating first, I've tried crushing them up, etc. well I started taking the chewable vitamins and I feel fine, don't feel like I'm gonna get sick at all.

What kind of vitamins are you taking?

      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!
