Vitamins Make Me Feeling Nausea



Recommended Posts

Try Centrum Adult chewables. They are orange flavored and remind me of the taste of baby asprin when I was a child. They are pretty good. Then for the Calcium, I take the Bariatric brand chewables. Now these taste to me like candy. There are a fruit flavor, caramel and a chocolate. I prefer the fruit and the caramel. If you need more info on the name of those I can get that to you when I get home from work.

Good luck!!!

My old girlfriend used to get queazy when she took Vitamins. Doc told her to simply stop. Not so easy for a bariatric patient as a lot of docs want you to take vitamins.

I tried 9 different Vitamins before I found ones which didn't make me sick. I took chewable a from Unjury, Celebrate, Bariatric Advantage and Smarty Pants. Ii called my doc and he moved me to capsules at 1.5 wk post op. I took capsules from Celebrate, Natures Way, Centrum and Kroger. Everything made me sick! Now, finally two months out, I have found 'Bariatric Advantage Multi Formula with Antioxidants'. It's six small capsules a day but they are great! Now more nausea and no more $$ wasted.

I would highly recommend trying them. I think I bought them for about $18 on Amazon.< /p>

Are you taking them on an empty stomach? I can take any brand of Vitamin on an empty stomach and get nauseaous. How about drinking a Protein Shake and then taking them?

Hi Lynn,

Are the calcium tablets you are talking about from Bariatric Advantage...if so did they come in a HUGE bottle. I got them and never opened them and was thinking of returning them since I can't stand the Vitamins and had to switch....but you like them???

Thanks for your help....8 weeks post surgery with lapband w/plication!

Good luck. I like the chewable Celebrate Vitamins, so this might be another brand to add to you list. The cherry flavor are my favorite. I could probably take pills now, but I still take the chewable.

I tried some liquid Vitamins, and I threw them up. Certainly not good with the band! Now I take Celebrate chewable Multivitamins, and a liquid cal/mag I got at the Vitamin Shoppe. I have no issues with the cal/mag, and I think it's because of the milkiness. The liquid vitamins are probably too acidic.

I can not take mine on an empty stomach. Instant queasiness and just yuck. So I always take them after lunch and after dinner since I can't get solids down in the morning.

      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.

        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.

      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!!
