I tried and tried and tried all different kinds of bariatric vitamins- they made me vomit almost every single time, no matter what brand. At one point, I got tired and asked my nutritionist, and they put me on (of all things) Flintstones Complete Multivitamin with Iron. It works fine and my numbers have been fantastic.
I take chewable fruit Calcium (which I had no problem with...) and don't need Vitamin d outside of the ones in the calcium (I live in the desert and try to spend time outside every day lol).
But with the multivitamin, I take it along with my B50 capsule and my GERD meds, then eat Breakfast 30 minutes later. I haven't vomited in months. Also make sure to take my multivitamin (because it has iron in it) at least two hours apart from my calcium, and each calcium (I take three a day for 1500) at least two hours apart so they can absorb correctly.
Hang in there. I know this part sucks, but you will get through it. ❤️
I had my Gastric Sleeve surgery done May 21, 2020. I had the bariatric Vitamins, Iron, Calcium, and Vitamin D supplements I was advised to take post op. I have tried repeatedly to take the bariatric vitamins (liquid, chewable, and capsule forms) and immediately vomit ( tried with and without food) i have now resulted to taking a women's one a day and supplemental iron. I haven't had my labs redone but was curious what other experiences yall have had?
