Trouble with vitamins

[beccajean 0]

Hi everyone, I am a month out from surgery and am finding that I'm having a ton of trouble getting my Vitamins in. Just the thought of them makes me super nauseous. I know I need to be taking them but I'm trying to figure out a way to get them all in without throwing up. Any ideas? Thank you!

After surgery, I was unable to swallow most pills. I had to cut them up or crush them. The calciums were the worst. They were horse pills. I had to crush these and mix them with a crystal light drink in order to get them down. They tasted terrible.

Around the second month I found that I regained my ability to swallow large pills and my life became dramatically easier to get the Vitamins down.

I am 23 months post op from RNY surgery and it seems like I have a very workable system so I hardly even think about it. This is what I do now. I take my Iron at night before I go to bed. This consists of my Flintstone Multivitamins and my Iron pill. (I was taking my Flintstones in the morning but my blood work showed that I became Iron deficient. Even though I was separating my Flintstones from my Calcium by time interval, I was not taking into account the calcium I was obtaining from milk.) The calciums I put in a small cup. All the other Vitamins (except those containing iron) I put in a weekly pill container separated by day.

So when I get up, I take my daily pills from the pill container. I swallow them down with Water. Lastly I take my sublingual B12 which I dissolve under my tongue. Then throughout the day whenever I think about it I swallow 2 calcium pills at a time with Water giving a 2 hour separation between sets. Then before I go to bed I take my iron pill and my Flintstones.

I got chewy Calcium online 500mg per chew. I have the Carmel flavor it's like a treat 3 times a day.

I was having a very hard time with them until I found these. Oh I am one month out. The company is Bariatric Advantage, the Protein Drinks are great too.

Good luck

I am on Bariatric Advantage. I have chocolate and Peanut Butter chocolate. I am not a fan of the shakes at all. They have a horrible after taste to me. I am also taking their multi with Iron, Probiotics and Vitamin D. I have not had any ill side effects.
