I was just looking through the forum for the answer to this same question ... I currently have the chewable daily multi Vitamin from opurity and it makes me completely nauseous within a few minutes!

Following your post to see what is out there that is recommended!

Best Wishes!

@@bamagurl do you take it with food or on an empty stomach? the opurity multi was *not* my favorite, but I ate them all anyway because they were good quality and expensive. when they were gone I went back to my regular multi. I need to take them with food. so I eat a few bites, take my Vitamin and then eat the rest of my food. the opurity I had to eat in 4 bites throughout the meal. I couldn't take it all at once. too much for me. but my labs were excellent!

I was instructed by Northern California Kaiser to take Centrum Adult chewables, an Iron supplement, a chewable Calcium citrate, a Vitamin D3, B12 sublingual, and B1.

I take Centrum vitamints. They taste like mint candy and are easy to digest. However they don't contain Iron so I also take Slow FE iron supplement and later in the day I take a Viactiv chewable Calcium supplement.

I do take with food, but being 6 weeks out from a Band revision to a Sleeve, the amount of food I am taking them with just isn't providing enough of a buffer. When I was banded I could take them no problem. I never though to take in several bites though ... maybe I will try that tonight. If that doesn't do it, I am definitely going to try something else.

I used the Multivitamin Patches from PatchMD for two months. Then I switched over to the Centrum chewable Multivitamin pills with Iron (orange flavor). I also try to get a variety of fruits and veggies in my diet, so I am not just relying on the supplements.

The orange flavored Centrum chewables do have iron, that's what I take.

My surgeon recommends 2 children's Flinstones chewables with Iron. I plan to switch to those when I finish the Centrum vitamints.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
