So frustrated with these vitamins...



Recommended Posts

I don't understand why... I started taking my bariatric Vitamins over 2 months before surgery and they were no big deal. Never bothered me.

Now, surgery was March 6th, and ever since... I have to take the pills WITH FOOD... and even then EVERY SINGLE TIME, I get nauseated... what the hell???

I take GNC Women's Ultra Mega mixed berry Gummy along with Calcium gummy B12 gummy and Biotin that dissolves on your tongue! And I had blood work done Monday and all my test came out great my Hemoglobin was up to normal and I have been anemic all my life! I was so excited! Try the GNC it works! And they taste great [emoji1303]

Are you taking them in the morning with Breakfast?

I take my Vitamins at night after dinner because I get sick when taking them in the morning.

That was going to be my point. You don't need to take them in the morning. Try taking them before bedtime.

The other thing to do? Switch to gummies for most of them -- this is what I take now, they seem to not have that "pill" effect when you eat them where nausea can be an issue.

I have to take them 3 x a day, with each meal. They told me to split them up and not take them all together because our bodies can only process so much at a time

      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.
