Just threw up my multivitamin



Recommended Posts

I was throwing up my chewable Multivitamin so my Dr prescribed me a Bariatriv Advantage Capsule and it has been better. However my doctor also has me on chewable Iron Vitamins, capsule thiamin Vitamin, capsule niacin Vitamin, and melting B12. I keep getting sick and dizzy. Anyone else on all of these Vitamins and how is it making you feel?

I take Centrum Silver chewables for adults 50+. I am a year and a half out getting sick of chewables. I have to force myself to take them. Some days I skip them so I wondering if I can just swallow one like a pill. I was sleeved. Anyone do this?

I've been using the Patches since 3/5/16 but the only labs I've had tested before and after are Vitamin D3. My levels have gone up (started off dangerously deficient in November 2014). If you look through my recent posts, you'll find a topic on the patches where I listed my lab results from 11/2014 through 7/2016.

I just went back and read your posts on the Patches - I'm going to try them. Thank you so much.

This information is not on the envelopes the Vitamins come in:

Should wear them 8 hours, no more than 9 (before I knew this I kept mine on for 24 hours)

Should wear them in the least fatty area you can find (I alternated between my chest and tops of my feet)

Don't expose them to the sun. There was a post on here where someone spent some time in the sun with her patch exposed and when she took it off, she had a burn/reaction on her skin. I don't think she ever came back to say if it was the sun exposure that caused it or not but to be safe, keep covered.

I will have my 3 month labs done in September so I hope all my numbers will look as good as my Vitamin D ones. :)

I'm sorry the Vitamins made you throw up. I also have to be very careful about which Multivitamins I take because many will make me sick, or cause an acne breakout. The Vitamin I've repurchased the most since having the VSG is the Flintstones Complete with Iron. In the immediate weeks following surgery I couldn't stand the taste, and switched to Vitamin Code for Women by Garden of Life. It never caused me to throw up, but would make me a tad bit nauseous if I didn't have it with food. I found that taking it with a smoothie worked best. I then tried the Vitamin patch, but it caused a skin irritation. At around the three month mark I decided to try Flintstones again since I still had it in my pantry and had run out of the other Vitamins. By that point my tastebuds had settled down, so it was perfectly fine. I've mainly stuck with it ever since because it's readily available, can be taken with or without food and Water, has never caused any negative side effects, and has gotten the job done. My lab results have been excellent. I also take Vitamin D3 and Peppermint Oil capsules (for PCOS).

The doctor's office, hospital, dietician all seem to PUSH the Bariatric brands ONLY. I've tried Celebrate and Bariatric Advantage chewables and they are disgusting and give you indigestion back lash. I'm interested to see that so many are buying over the counter accessible Vitamins like Centrum and Flintstone. Did the doctor approve or are you just winging it? I can't wait till they tell me that I can just swallow tablets.

opurity multi is pretty decent. It even has 30mg of Iron! It can be a little chalky, yet you only have to take it once!!!! All you have to take is your Calcium and that's it!

      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.

      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.
