I'm having problems taking down my vitamins



Recommended Posts

I purchased Multivitamin from the advantage bariatric website and after chewing one I feel so sick to my stomach I start to gag I hate taking these Vitamins so in the past couple of days I haven't taken any I also have the calcium citrate chocolate chewables and I just hate taking those as well and I just haven't been taking my vitamins how long until I can just take regular pills instead of doing chewables. Somebody please help

When was your surgery? I couldn't get my chewables down either for the first month. They tasted so chalky and nasty. My plan didn't allow me to swallow a pill bigger than a pencil eraser until I was on solid foods (which was 8 weeks for me). Do you have a nutritionist or bariatric advisor that you can talk to? He/she should be able to help you find some other options or at least let you know when you can progress to a tablet. It does get easier. Hang in there!

Patchmd.com ... It's a life saver for me. chewable vitamins made me gag.. My NUT told me about them. Now I just stick a patch on the back of my shoulder and forget about it till I change it the next day

I got the new chewable Mint Centrum Multi Vitamins and the viactiv chocolate calcium/d3 chews. They aren't bad

My surgery was 12/10. At my 2 week check in my doctor told me I could start on my kids chewable vitamins until I wasn't as sensitive.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
