Is anyone else feeling nauseated after chewing the vitamins. I am taking 2 bariatric advantage complete multiple formula, if so, any suggestions. I have been fine with food just this vitamin issue. I am three weeks post surgery.

I had this problem about 10 days out of surgery - switched to a different brand (now using Opurity) and all is well. I did some research and found that many people have nausea problems with Bariatric Advantage.

Try taking them at night. You will sleep through any nausea.

Thank you for your advice. I think I will change vitamins;)

I was on BA as well with the same problem, so much so that I could not get my water in. I switched to Flintstones and now my energy is skyrocketed.

I bought the Celebrate bari chewable vitamins for after surgery, and they made me nauseated. It didn't matter what time of day I took them, on an empty or with food in my stomach... I always got this nauseated feeling and increased saliva production. 3 times I vomited and I said enough was enough. I switched to One A Day Gummy vitamins. They aren't "bari" vitamins, but at least I'm getting something in and I feel better.

My doctor advised me to take a vitamin D3 before starting my meal then about half way through chew my vitamins. Yeah no more nausea!

I am on the fusion Vitamins 3 times daily. I cannot gag these vitamins down. I am 18 days post op and the nausea hits when I take one. I get these from my dr.'s Ofc.

When he released me from hospital he said to take these:

1. Multivitamins plus Iron. 1 tab twice daily

2. Calcium citrate. 1200-1600 mg. 1 tab daily

3. Vitamin B12 sublingual

I used to feel sick when I took mine in the morning. I started taking them before bed and all has been good!

I'm the same ill feel sick after just the multi vitamin everything I'm fine with. I take it at night and if I don't fall right asleep I start feeling it but I have learned if you take it and then eat something small like part of a protein bar you don't get sick.

II had purchased the Opurity vitamins. I took one on a Monday and felt sick and had hot saliva fill my mouth but didn't get sick. Thought maybe it was an empty stomach issue so the next morning I took it after eating and threw up in my trash can at work. I bought pre-natal gummie vitamins at Wal-Mart and have taken almost the whole bottle with no problems. I take the Viactiv calcium chews, really like the chocolate but not so crazy about the caramel ones. Just started taking Biotin but would like some feedback on dosage. I just picked a bottle since I hadn't researched it properly before I went to the store.

I was doing Centrum chewables and couldn't stand it. My dr said I could get non chewable and cut them if I needed to. Now I take centrum for women under fifty- SAMs brand- and swallow them whole.
