Hi all... I'm new to the group. I'm 13 days out. I had my sleeve done on 5/17/11. My doctor told me to take the Chewable Bariatric Advantage Multi Vitamins, but since surgery everytime I take them I throw up. I'm still in my liquid stage (my doctor requires liquids for 2 weeks) and I've even tried taking them with a Protein shake. Has anyone else experienced this? I've always been a faithful Vitamin taker. Even before surgery. Does anyone know if there is a capsule or something out there that my stomach might tolerate better. I've tried taking my daughter's Flinstone vitamins, too. They made me sick also.

Thanks so much for your help!

The impression I was given from my surgeon was that I would need to be on a chewable, liquid or powder Vitamin for the rest of life because pill forms pass through the pouch too quickly and not enough Vitamins are then released into the body. I will double check with him on this because I much rather take a pill form if possible. But this was the rule for just about anything I was told, pain medication, antibiotics....pretty much all other pills would have to be in the same form, except for the anti-acids.

Get you some Centrum people. It is not that big and is the ONLY vitamin out there that is COMPLETE!!

I have been swallowing them daily since week 4. No issues at all!
