My dr told me to start taking my regular Vitamins (no more chewables). However every time I take the Multivitamin, I almost instantly start feeling nauseated. I get the hot face, the watering mouth, tight throat. Within 5 minutes I'm having terrible diarrhea. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas as to why I'm feeling this way?

*ive emailed my surgeon, I'm waiting to here back from him.*

I've often wondered if it's the vitamins giving me diarrhea too as I also have had it since I started taking them pre op...

I'm still pre-op and my multi Vitamin makes me sick! If I take it on an empty stomach I feel AWFUL about 15 minutes later. I've started taking it at night after I've eaten and it works out better for me. My chewables give me no problems at all

The chewables taste awful and are the size of four quarters stacked. But they didn't upset my stomach. I guess I'm gonna be switching back to them until I hear from my surgeon.

Another thing to consider each multivitamin has a different make up. Sometimes the different make up will not give you the nauseated feeling. Maybe you could try a different brand...you know the costco brand versus the Vitamin store brand versus blah blah blah blah

      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.

      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.
