Hi all!

I am 6 weeks post op and am having serious troubles with the chewable viatmins. They taste terrible and I don't know how much longer I can handle it. Does anyone know when I can start taking Vitamin pills? I am allowed to take my meds in pills form, but I wasn't sure about the Vitamins.< /p>

Thanks for your help!!

Nora-I feel your pain on the chewables. I actually vomited for the first time today within 2 minutes of my Calcium chewables. I took them too fast to get it over and done with and paid for it. I'm going back to the Gummy version I had pre-op and just chewing like crazy. But you might want to try that route if you can't do pills.< /p>

I used to take my 6 year old multi vitamins.. They were prescribed by her pediatrician.. They taste like hell.. Lol yesterday I brought flintstone with Iron .. They are peach, grape, cherry, and orange flavored... So far I have taste peach and grape.. I just hate the chalky after taste. They really did give me a energy boost.. I been feeling like blah the pass few days and these helped.. I'm going to ask my doctor can I switch to gummies on my next doctors appt .. Hope I helped

I tried and tried to deal with the Bariatric Advantage chewables but the taste just made me gag. Tried Centrum and they were also vile. I eventually gave up and bought gummy vitamins :P

As soon as I could eat regular food I went back to my regular Vitamins and didn't have a bit of trouble. And mind you, I take 6 solid Vitamin pills. Good luck. If anything I would try one and see?

I'm ten days out and I only use pills, no chewables. Your stomach is fine to absorb them. (:

Nope, just get a mouth of Water, pop them in and swallow! I then again, take pills backwards compared to most people. Haha.

Just take a break between different pills. Don't stack them up in your sleeve.

      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... :(
