Struggling with Vitamins



Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m new here. I had my RNY on 10/21/20 and
I’m doing okay for the most part however, there are quite a few Vitamins that I have to take that are chewable/sublingual ONLY for the first 3 months. I’ve developed a conditioned response to chewables and sublinguals over the years and I can’t get them down or if I do, they’re coming right back up. I’m concerned about getting the nutrients I need if I continue to throw them up. Any suggestions on how I can overcome this? I don’t want to mess this up. Thank you.

I struggled with this as well the chewables I will put them in a little bit of Water to dilute them or juice it did help but honestly the Vitamins were the worst part for me

You could try liquid vitamins or vitamin patches. I used BariMelts for the first 3 months, which I prefer to chewables because they melt in your mouth so you don’t have to chew them, but if you have issues with sublinguals, these might not work for you, either. The only thing I have to take sublingually is B-12, and you can get that as a shot or nasal spray.

Thank you all.
I didn’t know Patches were even a thing! I’m going to look into these options.
