I stopped taking all Vitamins except for Calcium. I was taking a Vitamin (chewable) with my morning and then my evening meal. I was getting sick to my stomach and lightheaded and just thought that i was part of eating. Until the day came that I forgot to take it. I took it later that day and got lightheaded, feverish and nauseated. I though WOW, the vitamin is doing it to me. The next day I tried it again and the symptoms came back. Granted they only lasted about 20 minutes or so...but that was long enough. So I switched vitamins (a couple different brands) and had the same thing. My guess is that my body was telling me I didn't need them. So, now I just stick to the calcium. It doesn't bother me and since I don't get any dairy except for cottage cheese, I figure it can't hurt.

I'm taking the target generic chewable once-a-day Vitamins, but they're SO GROSS!!

literally i gag from them

I would take a swallow pill, but i noticed some brands are massive. Are there any brands that have not such humongous pills?

I am taking Centrum 50+ orange chewable Multivitamins one a day and a sub-lingual B-12 each day. I had been taking a Vitamin D prescription once a week because I'm deficient in D but forgot to show it to the doctor so I'll bring it to my first post-op visit. I have not been doing Calcium yet but plan to order the Lemon chews from Bariatric Advantage.

My Centrums were on sale at the local drugstore and were cheaper than Amazon, at least at the time that I bought them.

My doctor and nutritionist both said no gummies ever.

I take EcoDrink, it's a powder that you add to a 16.9oz bottle of Water. NUT approved & I get my water in & my Vitamins for the day. I get it at Sams but they also sell it on Amazon,

How does the EcoDrink taste? I just ordered the new Centrum Burst chewables. I am anxious to see how they taste. I have been taking the regulat Centrum Chewables and they are OK.

Check out the vita-cost website for prices and ideas.I take Gummy cva brand Vitamins and a gummy Fiber from Vitamin Shoppe I really love. I am told we are supposed to take calcium citrate but a cant afford it so I do the carbonate chews. I do caltrate and it taste like chocolate candy.< /p>

I hated the barbaric chews might want to buy a small bottle first not like me who bought a huge bottle. Lucky the Vitamin Shoppe has a 30 day guarantee even though when I bought them the told me couldn't be returned.

I take a multi vit, Biotin and Iron with Vit C. Do you guys think I should take a Calvium too? I've also read possibly a B12 or B complex. I'm just scared if taking to much it the wrong things! Any advice xx

I picked up Vitamine D and got home and realized it was Vitamine D3. Does anyone know if this is as good or should I get just "D"?

I take 2-3 tums with Calcium, I had a partial thyroidectomy and was told to take this for the my calcium been doing that for almost 4 years.

I also take "on the go" Vitamin c with mulitivitamin. I get it from walgreens in the Vitamin section, it's orange flavored so I mixed it with my Water and orange MIO.

When I don't take that I take a chewabale Centrum.

I am vitamin deficient, but getting better.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
