Hard time taking my vitamins



Recommended Posts

Hi guys so I had bypass in 12/17/14 and I am having such a hard time taking the Bariatric Advantage EA Multivitamins. I gag everytime I am soooo disgusted and it's like hell Everytime. I know I need to suck it up and just do it but the smell of the B12 in there just kills me I just wanna cry. It's so bad. I tried putting in food and yogurt but omg it's terrible. Any advise??? Is there anything else . I want to talk to my dr to see if he is willing to give me injections or something for crying out loud.

No you wear them for 24 hrs then take them off and then they last for 3 to five days depending on what kind.

I use the chewables and they are pretty good actually. The things that tasted bad, like the Omeprazole, I would crush and put in a tablespoon with some pineapple juice. Pineapple juice covers the flavor of everything! BUT... only have as much as you need to get the pills or taste down. It is too sugary (naturally sugary) to have too much of it.

Try WLS (weight loss surgery); whole line; through Jefferson Vaughan at Jupiter Medical Center in Fl. The B12 is sublingual and tastes like mild strawberry. I won't use anything else.

My B12 is a nasal spray (use once a week only) and I do just fine. Also I have dissolvable Vitamins. You can suck them like candy (grape flavor). The brand is BariActiv and they come free with my Nascobal nasal b12 spray. I only pay 25 a month for all of this. My doc did all the processing for these for me.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
