Vitamin problem. Need suggestions

[Cober1 9]

I've been having a problem with severe nausea following my Vitamin. I'm 10 days post-op.

I tried taking it at night but then couldn't sleep. This morning I was feeling great until I took the vitamin then had to run for my Phenergan. I don't know if the issue is trying to take too many pills too close together. Trying to swallow them too fast. Drinking too much Water, etc.

I have to take the multi vitamin, pepcid, metformin, and a hormone pill. Is that too many to take in succession?

I was told in the hospital to wait 15 mins after each pill to take the next.

Thank you jaejae79, I'll try that tonight. Hopefully it will do the trick.

I purchased a Tespo Dispenser. It's like a Keurig for Vitamins. I am pre-op and hate taking multiple pills so it was a great choice for me. I got the Bariatric plus pods. it's a pretty cool machine.

Does it taste yummy?
I don't like the aftertaste the bariatric vitamins leave on my tongue and I don't like that the ones I've purchased are made with soy...
I was looking at these tespos online
Looks like a great investment.. but what's it taste like and does it leave you with filmy overly sweet tongue [emoji58]

The Multivitamin for women tastes great the Bariatric not so good BUT it's not intolerable. Kinda like orange juice to grapefruit lol.. However it's better than pills. I hate pills.

Ditto! [emoji40]

I clicked on your link and it states a price of $99. Is that the sale price?

I recently purchased a Tespo and love it. The Vitamins taste like tang did back in the day. It's a super small amount so very easy to take. I also purchased the sleep pod and love it, too. Definately worth the price in my book and if you order on subscription you get discounts depending on the number of pods you purchase so with me, my husband, and sleep I receive 40% all vitamins by subscribing to them monthly.

I just received a coupon code in my email! Use code "Cheersto59" at checkout and the machine will cost $59 instead of the $99.
