Do Your Vitamins Make You Sick?!?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm 3 weeks post-op and have had no issues with vomiting except when I take my Vitamins. I ordered from Celebrate (Bariatric Vitamins). My first order were chewable vitamins and for a couple of days I had no issues. Now when I take them, they come back up almost immediately, so I ordered them in the pill form (have to take 3 pills). Same thing, as soon as I take them I am immediately nauseous. Yesterday, I took a Zofran right after and it stopped the urge to hurl. Tonight, I didn't take the Zofran fast enough and barely made it to the restroom.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what brand I should try? Preferably only one pill even if it's big.

Thank you for any suggestions!

My doctor recommended a Centrum chewable. While it doesn't taste great, it's not bad enough to make me feel sick at all.

Are you eating a little something first? I absolutely can not take Vitamins on an empty stomach. That being said, I take Nature Made Multi Vitamins with usually no issues.

I can't take them on an empty stomach. I have to eat applesauce or some sort of food with them. If I don't I get sick within 10 minutes

The Bariatric Advantage Vitamins made me extremely nauseous and close to vomiting. Multiple people at my support group experienced the same thing. I have been taking Flinstones Complete chewables but plan to switch over to a food based Multivitamin soon. The Flinstones have what you need in them as long as you take them twice a day. I just don't like that they have chemicals and dyes in them.

Thank you for starting this. I thought it was in my head. I was fine with Bariatric Advantage chewables for about three weeks. Now I just can't do it. It is bit better with food but taking the Vitamins make it impossible to take anything for about six hours so can't get in liquids or Protein. Are there any good chewables that have everything in them?

      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.
