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.

      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.
