I started taking my bariatric Vitamins only a couple days ago. I haven't had any problems, until today. I feel like one of the calcium's is stuck in my esophagus. In fact, I've tried to eat twice and my food just felt like it was stacking up on it, and eventually came back up! I had never even thrown up! Grrr! It's a little painful, too.

Has this ever happened to you? What did you do?

I have had the same issues. I switched to Vitamins called isotonic distributed by market America. I ordered Multivitamin with d but they have other great stuff including the minerals it is in powder form n taste great. All Ihave to do is fill up capful with Water n shoot. I also love the resveratrol.

Ok...so...goodness! How long did it take to go away! This feels like 3 hours, now! At least! I'm trying to swallow a little warm Water at a time...this is a real fun ruiner! I will remember this about the vitamins!

Do you still feel it? It should have dissolved by now.

I always either get chewable calciums or just chew up the tablets. The tablets taste bad but I'm not picky about taste. i sometimes chew up a chewable multivitamin with it to drown out the taste.

It's finally going away. Thank you. These are what my doctor gave me...a sample, I guess...and so I hadn't bought any. I'm going to get chewable a tomorrow. Seems like that would make a better sample for patients fresh out of surgery...

I cut my pills in half to make them as small as possible. That was my major concern after surgery. But I also hate that stuck feeling. Happened to me after I ate the other night and it took 45 mins for the feeling to go away. Thank goodness I was at work and could walk it off.

Well, I hadn't even thought of cutting them in half! DOH! I don't know why it even took me so long to figure out it was my pill that was giving me so much grief! I love this group! I wish I had found it way before the day after my surgery!

Be sure to get calcium citrate, it is more absorbable.

My Doctor recommended the Gummy vites and gummy fish. You have to chew them very well, but they don't get stuck. I also found sublingual B12 and Biotin.< /p>

Yes, that's what I have...I swear my dr said it needed to be 600 mg. in fact what he gave me has 600 mg. everything seems to be 500?

And as of this morning, I'm still a little afraid to eat bc even when I drink, it seems to hang there a half a second. Think maybe my esophagus or something is irritated or mad at me? ;) or at the very least a little swollen?

What brand of sublingual B 12 do you take? I bought some last Sat at the Vitamin Shoppe and they don't dissolve. I had it under my tongue for like 15 minutes before I finally chewed it. Aren't sublingual pills sposed to dissolve?

I went to Walmart and bought some drops. Natures best or something like that. In a yellow box.

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
