My surgery was on 10/10 and the first two weeks I was fine but then Monday I started throwing up everytime I took my multi vitamin. I was on a anti nausea patch the first two weeks and now I have phenegram suppositories that are not helping. I take prilosec every morning too. Has anyone else had this? I go back to work 11/10 and I have a really stressful job...I can't keep having these unexpected things happen... I need to be completely good before I go back to work!

I too had that issue. I found that I needed something in my tiny tummy. I could no longer take my multi on an empty stomach. Don't know if I helped any.

I have to crush mine and put into a protein shake...

I started taking my multi-vitamin about a month before surgery and was fine, after surgery, they made me soooo nauseated. Never threw up, but felt bad for about an hour after taking it. At 4 weeks out, I was able to take pills bigger than an m&m and I switched to centrum. Those don't make me sick at all.

I had the same problem until I started eating a meal and then taking the multivitamin. I highly recommend taking most vitamins with food, but that is just my opinion.

I just recently switched from chewables to tablets -- same brand of Vitamin. This morning I took my multi and 3 Calcium 500 tablets, and I went into overdrive for saliva production. I was worried I was going to get sick, but I didn't. I think it was because I took the Vitamins on an empty stomach. Once I had some food in there, I felt fine.

Tomorrow, I plan on eating a bit before taking the vitamins. I'll let you know if that helps.

Thanks everyone...I tried with food and without..threw up both times! See my Dr. Tomorrow..hopefully he will have a solution!

PJ713, It's the iron in the vitamins that triggers the nausea for me. Have you tried a chewable vitamin? If not, try eating about half your meal, then chewing up the vitamin, then eat the rest of your meal. That works for me.

Vitamins in pill form have always made me sick. Now I do only liquid or chewable (not gummy). You can get them at the drugstore or vitamin store. Also, I take mine in the evening. See if this will help you too.

I found that the women's one a day and the celebrate vitamins both made me extremely nauseated. I stick to the Flintstone Completes and those don't bother me at all...empty stomach or not.

I was fine the first 5 days taking the multi they gave me at the hospital, but days 6 and 7 I threw them right up. I bought a new brand of the chewables and no problems after that. I spoke with many people that had the same experience with the brand from the hospital but did just fine with the store bought brand.

I have the same problem. I tried chewables, liquid and cut my costco daily multi in half (that was the worst!) and major nausea with each. My dietician just told me I may be a little sensitive right now (less than 3 weeks out) and it's ok to try a gummy vitamin for the time being. I'll try my regular multi in a few weeks. Somehow, my b-12, b1 and d3 all go down fine...
