Hey Ya'll,

I take the Bariatric Advanced chewable Multivitamin and without fail I vomit immediately after I take it. I've tried taking it w/food, w/out food, in the morning, in the afternoon, etc and nothing seems to be helping!! Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you overcome it? It's not the taste nor the texture, I actually like them but my stomach certainly doesnt!!

Please help!

Me too. I've asked for other suggestions too. I just ordered a new supply of the Bariatric Advanced in a different flavor. Thought I'd give that a try. I don't think it's the flavor but I don't like it so I thought I'd give a different one a try.

I actually forgot to mention this to my doctor today.

I just started mushies today. After I get settled into this routine and I have the new flavor, I'm going to try cutting them up and starting with just .25% of one. See now that goes down. In the mean time I'm still taking my 1 a day. I asked and it doesn't hurt, it's just not getting me everything I should be getting. So right now I'm drinking one of the very high Vitamin drinks and the 1 a day and hoping that's enough for a while.

Have you tried breaking the pill up into smaller chewable pieces? Wondered if we hit our stomach with a smaller piece a few times a day if it might work better.

I too vomited immediately after taking the Bariatric Advantage that the hospital gave me, so I threw those in the trash and stated takin Centrum chewable and have had zero problems since (about 2 weeks). I have not been sick on anything else.

Save your money!! I take 2 Flintstones a day. They taste good, are inexpensive and DON"T bother your tummy. I've just had full bloodwork and all my levels were fine, so I know the vitamin is doing the trick. My doctor tells all his patients to take them.

Funny u should post this today...but I am usually fine...today i got so nauseous after taking my vites...my bff suggested taking them at bedtime....i am gonna try that

The multi one is small so I don't break it up. The calcium one is huge and that one I have no problems with. I feel so bad cuz I bought a big bottle of them....i guess I'll get the flintstones then. Thanks guys!!

Happened to me as well. for me the texture is horrid and the taste is disgusting. for both calcium citrate and the multi.

I've replaced the calcium citrate with the chewy bites, got the capsule multi and i just open the capsule and put into my yogurt, Protein drink or other soft food I'm eating. doctor said i'm already swallowing enough pills so early out, so what i'm doing is ok. she said at the 3 month mark i can swallow the capsule.

So you don't spend anymore money, go to http://www.celebratevitamins.com/component/chronocontact/?chronoformname=sample they sent me loads of free samples and I got them in THREE days after the request!!!! See if you can keep any of these down. I wish you luck and be well!

Thanks huskey!!! I'll call them tomorrow!! You're awesome!!!!

Try flinstone chewables they are easier on your tummy. If you can tolerate them use them for a while and ina few months go back to trying your vitamins again. This just worked for my friend

I feel your pain. At 8 months out I still remember gagging and sometimes throwing up on those big Barriatric vitamins. Echoing what Christina & NJmomof2 said. Go the easy way out, take a two Flinstone Childrens Complete (with Iron) vitamins. When I was up to eating at 6 weeks I moved over to the Gummy Vitamins sold at Costco. During weight loss, I felt those were my treat...maybe like I was cheating.

I've had the same problem. I started taking gummies and haven't had any problems so far with the nausea. I wish u luck as that was the worst part of my day until I started the gummies.

I am having the same problem, but I am having that with the flintstones chewables, and had to spit it out because it was making me sick -

Gummies sound so much easier for me, but my surgeon told me from the get go to not get the gummies that they are hard on your stomach - I am tempted to use them since some people are here just to get in my Vitamins.

I haven't had any issues with the gummies as far as them being hard. When they go down i don't feel like I'm going to immediately vomit them back up. I chew them enough like we are to do with food. This has been the only way to get my vitamins in. I actually look forward to them every morning. Good luck ladies.

My Doctor started me on the Celebrate chewables two weeks before surgery. I took them, but didn't like them at all. After surgery, they made me extremely nauseous. At my 2 week post-op visit, my Doctor said to try taking my regular multivitiamin, a Target brand Centrum. His suggested taking it at night instead of the morning. I have no trouble getting it down even though its pretty big. I am really glad that is working for me!
