I am having a lot of trouble getting all my meds down. I did a couple days of vitamins/Nexium and did fine but then I had to add two antibiotics for my H. Pylori bacteria in my stomach. Thats when it all went down hill. I have a very difficult time getting them down without vomiting and after I do I will be nauseous for hours. I will wretch and sometimes vomit hours later. I am not sure what to do with this. I have been just doing the two antibiotics and the Nexium because this is necessary to prevent ulcers until I see the doc Thursday. Any ideas?

Sorry you are having this problem...... Make sure you have the chewable Vitamins. When I first started taking them, the taste was ok. Now they taste like rotten fruit (after taking for 2 weeks) I am also having to take sips of Water to wash it down after chewing. You really need to ask your physician/surgeon about this. Vomiting leads to dehydration, so be careful...

Every physician/surgeon has a different 'spin' on the Vitamin deal. My nutritionist stressed the importance of taking them. After I discussed the taste issue with my surgeon, he told me I did not have to take them every day as long as I was taking my 50,000 units of Vitamin D once a week. So I take the Iron, Calcium, & Multivitamin every other day, and B12 once a week. When I go back to see him on 7/22, I am going to ask about stopping them after I start back at semi-regular diet (6-7 weeks).

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
