AlanaRN 419 Posted January 1, 2015 I'm 3 months out and I still get nauseated after the Celebrate Multi Vitamins. After I'm finished this bottle, I'm going to Flinstones Complete. I can't stand the nausea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheleLynn45 615 Posted January 1, 2015 I am taking Bariatric Advantage Vitamins twice a day. I have been swallowing them since I started taking them. I have always had a hard time taking pills no matter what the size. I never really learned how to swallow them normally, I have always had to place them all the way to the back of my throat and then drink something. I did find that I cannot take these Vitamins after dinner like I was doing originally. One after Breakfast and one after dinner but taking one that late made me wake up "tasting" it. Yuck!! Now I take them after Breakfast and lunch and it works so much better for me. I have had to set a timer on my phone to remind myself to take my after lunch Vitamin and this seems to be helping.

Gammy10 37 Posted January 1, 2015 I was sleeved on Dec 22nd. The last few days I am having difficulty taking my chewable multi Vitamin. I have Celebrate chewable multi Vitamins. Each tablet is pretty big. I am dreading to take them each night! Has anyone else had the same issue? Any suggestions on alternatives? Please help!!! Congratulations on your new sleeve. You are going to love your new life! I am about 6 months post op. I have only thrown up a couple of times since having my surgery, and both times it was because of those dang chewable vitamins. I take the Bariatric Advantage chewable ones. I finally got creative. I leave two out on the the kitchen counter each night; this makes them a bit softer. The next day, I crumble them with my fingers and stir them into a bit of greek yogurt. I do this morning and night. You do not even taste them, and they have not made me nauseated even a little bit since then. Plus, we all know the greek yogurt is a great source of Protein. I know it may not work for everyone, but it has been a life saver for me. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crystal88 85 Posted January 2, 2015 I take one Centrum Complete chewable Multivitamin. I will bite into it, eat some plain greek yogurt, then the last half I plop onto another spoonful of yogurt. Works great! At the beginning, I made the mistake of taking it with Water, but my throat felt really scratchy afterwards, to where Id start coughing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
