The past few days I’ve noticed my Multivitamin makes me nauseous. Yesterday I took my Vitamin on an empty stomach and figured that was the reason. Today I took my vitamin after I ate and let my stomach settle. I followed it up with some apple sauce and needless to say everything came up. I take the ProCare Health daily capsules and am thinking I should switch to a tablet.

Unfortunately, nausea is not an uncommon side effect of Multi Vitamins. I found splitting my dosage helped a bit - I’d take one in the morning & the other at night.

Yes, a different formulation or brand can help & is worth trying.

Vitamin C, E, B9 (folate) & Iron are usually the culprits behind the nausea so it can be worth checking how much you are taking of these. Like do you take iron & there’s iron in the multi. If so maybe take the iron at a different time.

It’s also harder in the beginning as we have so little in our tummy there’s not enough there to protect it so nausea results.

I take this one and it's fantastic. I need the Iron because I've always been a bit anemic, but they also have them without iron.

      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.
