Mulitvitamins Make Me Sick!



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!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
