Vitamins Make Me Feeling Nausea



Recommended Posts

Try Centrum Adult chewables. They are orange flavored and remind me of the taste of baby asprin when I was a child. They are pretty good. Then for the Calcium, I take the Bariatric brand chewables. Now these taste to me like candy. There are a fruit flavor, caramel and a chocolate. I prefer the fruit and the caramel. If you need more info on the name of those I can get that to you when I get home from work.

Good luck!!!

My old girlfriend used to get queazy when she took Vitamins. Doc told her to simply stop. Not so easy for a bariatric patient as a lot of docs want you to take vitamins.

I tried 9 different Vitamins before I found ones which didn't make me sick. I took chewable a from Unjury, Celebrate, Bariatric Advantage and Smarty Pants. Ii called my doc and he moved me to capsules at 1.5 wk post op. I took capsules from Celebrate, Natures Way, Centrum and Kroger. Everything made me sick! Now, finally two months out, I have found 'Bariatric Advantage Multi Formula with Antioxidants'. It's six small capsules a day but they are great! Now more nausea and no more $$ wasted.

I would highly recommend trying them. I think I bought them for about $18 on Amazon.< /p>

Are you taking them on an empty stomach? I can take any brand of Vitamin on an empty stomach and get nauseaous. How about drinking a Protein Shake and then taking them?

Hi Lynn,

Are the calcium tablets you are talking about from Bariatric Advantage...if so did they come in a HUGE bottle. I got them and never opened them and was thinking of returning them since I can't stand the Vitamins and had to switch....but you like them???

Thanks for your help....8 weeks post surgery with lapband w/plication!

Good luck. I like the chewable Celebrate Vitamins, so this might be another brand to add to you list. The cherry flavor are my favorite. I could probably take pills now, but I still take the chewable.

I tried some liquid Vitamins, and I threw them up. Certainly not good with the band! Now I take Celebrate chewable Multivitamins, and a liquid cal/mag I got at the Vitamin Shoppe. I have no issues with the cal/mag, and I think it's because of the milkiness. The liquid vitamins are probably too acidic.

I can not take mine on an empty stomach. Instant queasiness and just yuck. So I always take them after lunch and after dinner since I can't get solids down in the morning.

      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.
