Vitamins making me throw up...



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 5 months post op, and never had a issue with my Vitamins. Until now. I switched to a new flavor, same brand, but berry instead of orange, and they are making me sick. Not everytime, but twice in the last week. Within 10 minutes of taking them I am throwing up. Any advice? I hate to go get new ones, because they were $40 for the bottle. Would it help to take them with food, without food, night, day? Anything? So far the two times they made me sick, once was on an empty stomach, the other was about 30 minutes after eating some Soup. Both in the morning.

I would probably go ahead and order the ones that don't upset my stomach, and revisit these Vitamins later. Let some time pass, could make the difference in how well you tolerate them.

Can you return them? Some stores will let you return them if you do not like the supplements. I know that GNC does it and I think where I ordered my first bariatric vitamins does as well.

I kicked the chewable stuff to the door at about three weeks in and I changed over to a pill form because the chewable ones made me sick and according to my labs at that point, my body was absorbing them the way it was supposed to. You might want to consult with your doctor or your nurse.

      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.
