Vomiting after Vitamins

[Groovinchikin 49]

I'm a little over 2 months out, and that is when my surgeon recommends beginning a Vitamin regimen. I have a chewable Bariatric Advantage multi-vite that's supposedly formulated for sleeve patients. I have tried to take them on two separate occasions and I have only managed to hold onto them for about 5 mins before I'm overwhelmed with nausea and throw the whole thing up . They taste like orange sherbet to me, so the flavor is definitely not the issue. Has anyone experienced this? Is my stomach just not ready yet, or should I look for a different product? Any Vitamins you would recommend? Thanks!

Interesting that your doctor stated to wait 2 months. I started after a day or two home from hospital.

Agree that BA tabs are vomit inducing. I eventually got tired of it and switched to Celebrate capsules. The DV is 3 capsules. I found if you take all 3 at once, it also led to vomiting. I wanted to take all at once so I would not forget. Finally settled on a good Trader Joe high potency brand (200% of everything) which I could take without vomiting. Tasted good also! Worked really well for months. In the last couple months I have switched to GNC athlete men's daily Vitamin packs. They are really helpful once you get your athlete on. I would not recommend them until post 6 months though because tabs are big and you need to be comfortable with swallowing those. You also do not want to mess around with specialized Vitamins before getting the all clear from your blood work at 6 months. Hope this helps.

I take gummy vitamins that I buy at Walmart. I also take extra Biotin and Vit C.

Hi, have you tried taking it with food? I'm still on full liquids and my doctor told me now to start my Vitamins until I hit the puree stage since it can cause nausea. Sounds like trying another brand is a good idea. good luck with getting your vitamins in.

I had the same issue with my Celebrate bariatric combination of pills. I am 6 weeks out and this is whats working for me now... before I always felt like I was going to puke when I took any of my Vitamins other then the B12.< /p>

I curretly take UPCalD for my Calcium. I take it twice a day. Once in the morning with my Protein shake and once in the evening with some coconut Water. Its a power that has no taste and is meant to be mixed with drinks or food.

I have a celebrate b12 once a day under my tongue and have no issues with it... melts under my tongue and has a decent flavor.

lastly I take a flintstone Multivitamin twice a day and its taste decent I guess. I dont even need Water to take it... its chewable. My Dr told me after 6 months I can just take a once a day adult Multivitamin.< /p>
