Trouble with the bariatric chewable vitamins



Recommended Posts

Every time I try to take my chewable vitamins I end up incredibly nauseous or throwing them back up. This has happened with two different brands. I'm ordering a liquid brand to try to see if that helps. Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues and what Vitamins have worked best for you?

Why not just get capsules? Bariatric Advantage makes capsules. I take four a day. (dosage is six, but that's for RNY patients, since I'm a sleeve patient I only need four)

I didn't even think about trying capsules. Do you take all four at one time or do you take two twice a day?

I separate them out.. and take throughout the day and they don't have Iron so I can take them with my Calcium. You don't HAVE to separate them out, but I do because I think you absorb more of the Vitamins that way.

I bought from Amazon.com I paid like $40.00 for 540 capsules.. which works out to around 10.00 a month.

I'm taking the Wellesse liquid Vitamins (Multivitamin' date=' Calcium, and iron) and I really like them.[/quote']

That is the brand I just ordered earlier today. Glad to hear you like them! I hope they will work for me. :)

Vitamins make me nauseous also, if I take them early in the morning after Breakfast. I puke them up, unless I take them at night. For some reason my stomach doesn't agree with them in the morning. Try taking them after dinner. I take the capsule kind from "Celebrate".

I also struggled with the bariatric chewable and liquid multi vitamin... Because I am stubborn and refused to buy spend money on another Vitamin, I take small bites of the chewable, breaking into about quarters, and eat it throughout the morning. That has helped tremendously! Good luck!

I got the Celebrate calcium citrate in cherry tart flavor and its absolutely delish! The pills are quarter-sized but you only have to chew 3 daily. Very yummy :)

I got the gummy vitamins, and it's a HUGE improvement! I know not all docs allow them, but mine is ok with them and boy, am I glad!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
