Chewable vitamins make me sick

I was sleeved May 14th and I've done really well but like others struggling with protein. But also every time I take a bariatric advantage chewable vitamin I get sick! I even take phenergren with it and I still throw it up. Does anyone else have this problem?? I go back for my 1st postop appt tomorrow. I will ask but didn't know if anyone else was given a substitute to try instead of the vitamins?

I haven't had that issue but taking bariatric advantage's Iron chewable makes me sick. I've even tried just swallowing it, buy after a while it still comes back up

I take a Equate (Walmart braand) chewable complete multivitamin and it goes down fine. No problems.

Check with your doctor if there is something else you can take. I had the same problem with my lap band, and he lets me take the Flinstone chewable vitamins.

Centrum Chewables was on my list of approved vitamins to take. 2 of them daily. The orange flavor doesn't bother me one bit! Cheap, available @ Walmart and they work! Give em a try

I too get sick every time I try the Bariatric Advantage chewable multi vitamin. That is the only think I have gotten sick with. I stopped taking them and went with the Centrum chewable....

I also got sick with every chewable Vitamin I tried (Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate, Trader Joe's brand, etc.). I took my prilosec before and it still didn't help.

I finally found a way that I can take them. I put them in my "cheek" to dissolve slowly like a sweet tart. It takes an hour or so to completely dissolve, but I get my Vitamins (slowly) so it doesn't upset my stomach. I like the Celebrate pineapply/strawberry flavor and Bariatric Advantage Orange flavor. Just find one that tastes good to you so you don't mind sucking on it for awhile. Good luck and hope this helps! :)
