My first breakfast

[donaboss 131]

Acing my first Breakfast since dec 30... I'm having 4oz of farina. I like it a lot and so does my pouch. I am hating the Vitamins. Yuckkkkk ... Did any of you not take your vitamins and been doing fine? I don't think I can take them again. It's making me gag

What kind of Vitamins are you taking?

My Vitamins really upset my stomach - I have to take with food. They are chewable vitamins, Bariatric Advantage. They taste horrible, but I think of them as my medicine that I have to take.

That's exactly what I have.. Soooooo yucky omg.. First time taking it and I'm already disgusted. I know they are important but I don't want to throw up

yeah, the taste sucks - but I have gotten used to them. I've been on them for 6 weeks now - they aren't as bad as when I originally started taking them. I was like you - I thought I was going to have to get something different, but I stuck with it and it got better.

I take 2 per day and have one at breakfast and one at dinner, I can't stomach 2 at the same time.

Hang in there, you'll get used to them.

I am struggling with liquid and chewable vitamins. I switched to gummy vitamins this week (3weeks out) and make sure I really chew them. I figure gummies are better than none.

I wish I can take Gummy ones. This is my third week. They told me do not take gummies Uhg

I was also told no gummy vitamins. My dr. Is fine with me taking 2 flint stone complete chewable. They taste good. I am taking viactiv Calcium with Vitamin chocolate soft chews. They also taste good. Hope that helps.

I had cream of wheat for my first breakfast! It was yummy after the clear liquids!

I hate my chewable Vitamins. I bought Centrium chewables and Viactiv Calcium. Both gross. I will be looking for different ones.

[donaboss 131]

I might just buy the Gummy ones because at least they taste better. I just spend over 60$ buying these Vitamins that I hate

I too have struggled with the Vitamins. I'm no expert and only 31/2 weeks out but the reason I was told no gummies is baca use the sleeve is still healing and until at least 6 weeks post op minimum, very susceptible to complications. Gummies can be very dangerous to a new sleeve. In fact the reason I was told I can't chew gum is primarily the potential of swallowing it (which I haven't done for as long as I can remember).

I have tried just about every bariatric brand so that I didn't have to double up but yuck. The one I liked best are the chewables (not gummies, more like starburst) but I was told no on those for now too.

What I have been using is the following liquid:

It's not bariatric so you have to double it (so 2 tablespoons twice a day). It looks and smells gross and it's thick but I take it in a shot glass and it's done quick. It doesn't taste too bad... The other liquid options tend to be mixes for drinks so you have to gag the whole drink down to benefit.

I'm 2-1/2 weeks out from surgery and I've been taking Centrum chewables in fruit flavor. I just break the tablet up into 4 pieces and they don't taste bad at all, just very sweet. I also bought Vitafusion Calcium, only I didn't realize that they are gummies, even though they are soft and don't taste like gummies. I guess I better stop taking them.

[donaboss 131]

I need to find new Vitamins. I am not taking the ones I have.... I hate to throw up or gag... Why can't we all be 100lbs and never have to worry about this stuff ... Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit. I need something that tastes like candy and not medicine. I am so upset that I spend 70$ on something that will go in garbage!!! The B12 is not so bad since it goes under my tongue but the other 2 is a big NO NO

I take 2 Flintstones a day, they taste yummy to me!!!!

I take Celebrate pineapple strawberry. The are chewable tablets. The taste is not bad. I tolerate them just find. They are a bariatric Vitamin. They have lots of products and you can order a sample lack for $3 and then you get a $3 credit on your first order.
