I was feeling guilty about not being able to take my Vitamins because I had a headache and vitamins don't set well with me in general. So my headache lessens today and I decide I'll take the vitamins and I'm right back where I was, gassy and feel like a spike is being driven into my temple. I will be REALLY happy when this recovery time is over. It's not even the pain of the surgery. Ive had almost none, but this headache is making me gag everything including my gas x strips.

I take a lot of Vitamins daily, not only for the sleeve, but for my hyperparathyroidism, so I especially load up on Vitamin D. It, in particular, can cause a lot of nausea, so it's important to take it with Calcium, as they kinda need each other to work right, anyway. And if you take Iron, don't take it with the calcium, the calcium will block iron's absorption. I have found that taking the vitamins right after eating (if you are already sleeved, I find to drink only a sip or two to get them down) will eliminate the nausea. So my daily plan of attack is taking most of the vitamins (minus the iron) after Breakfast, then wait 2 or more hours to take the iron, then wait two or more hours to take the rest of my calcium (I do two doses of calcium a day). My dietician is in agreement with my plan, and it seems to work for me without any icky (technical term) after effects. Good luck to you!
