Vitamins making me nauseated



Recommended Posts

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.< /p>

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

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.

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'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.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
