Recommended Posts

Ok, I tried a liquid mulit.. made me sick. I bought the Bariatric Advantage chewables, made me sick. What kind are you all taking? I need something that isn't going to make me throw up each time I take it.

I don't know how far out you are or if you ate able to take pills. I had to get another pain med 4 days out and my doctor had no problem with my request for a pill so long as my sleeve could handle it. It handled it fine and I've been taking all my meds and vitamims/supplements in pill form since. I hope you feel better soon.

I do just the Centrum chewables. Well, actually, I do the CVS "imitation" Centrum chewables which taste even better than the Centrum ones.

I love them. I always take them with a meal to help make sure there are no tummy issues, but I haven't had any problems.

Ok, went to Wally World and bought the One A Day VitaCraves gummies. So far, so good. I just ate two of them about 5 minutes ago and not nauseous yet. The Bariatric Advantage ones make me sick w/in about a minute or two.. no joke. So, how are these as far as Vitamins are concerned? Are they ok?

I couldn't stomach the chewable so my surgeon told me to take capsules. I can get them down ok but have to take them with food or else I'll get nauseous.

I take two Flintstones Complete everyday. I couldn't tolerate that nasty bariatric chewable vitina at all, but the Flintstones are fine!

The Centrum chewables made me sick so did the Bariatric Advantage. I have been taking the Vitafusion multi gummies. No issues so far. I doubled the dosage to more closely match the bariatric advantage one.

I know exactly where you are coming from! Multivatimins always make me sick. Women's one-a-day, even the prenatal Vitamins. I use to take children's chewable, but they didn't have all of the stuff I needed. I think it is the Iron that makes me sick! But, I'm not entirely sure.

I also get sick taking any Multivitamin on an empty stomach. I have found though that if I take the same Multivitamin right after I eat, I don't get sick.

So I suggest try taking them right after a meal and see if that helps the nausea.

I took Bariatric Advantage during preop, because the doctor's office made the patients buy them (about $500 extra). I gave all of it away since it made me sick too. The last time I got sick to my stomach was the night before surgery after taking the Bariatric Advantage Vitamins. Threw up 3 times that night - awful. If you search this site for Bariatric Advantage, you'll see that you are not alone! Although the doctor's office wanted me to buy more of it after surgery, I flat out refused. Seems like a money-maker for the surgeon's office...

Since sugery, I only take gummy vitamins at night before bed. I've been fine with them.

Glad you're feeling better!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
