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.

If nothing else try the Gummy vites at least it will be something they also make gummy Calcium its worth a try. I don't get sick but I really hate chewable vitamins......

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!!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
