Hard time taking my vitamins



Recommended Posts

Hi guys so I had bypass in 12/17/14 and I am having such a hard time taking the Bariatric Advantage EA Multivitamins. I gag everytime I am soooo disgusted and it's like hell Everytime. I know I need to suck it up and just do it but the smell of the B12 in there just kills me I just wanna cry. It's so bad. I tried putting in food and yogurt but omg it's terrible. Any advise??? Is there anything else . I want to talk to my dr to see if he is willing to give me injections or something for crying out loud.

No you wear them for 24 hrs then take them off and then they last for 3 to five days depending on what kind.

I use the chewables and they are pretty good actually. The things that tasted bad, like the Omeprazole, I would crush and put in a tablespoon with some pineapple juice. Pineapple juice covers the flavor of everything! BUT... only have as much as you need to get the pills or taste down. It is too sugary (naturally sugary) to have too much of it.

Try WLS (weight loss surgery); whole line; through Jefferson Vaughan at Jupiter Medical Center in Fl. The B12 is sublingual and tastes like mild strawberry. I won't use anything else.

I have never seen Vitamins available in a patch! That is amazing and I will have to check them out for sure! Thanks so much for sharing.

My B12 is a nasal spray (use once a week only) and I do just fine. Also I have dissolvable Vitamins. You can suck them like candy (grape flavor). The brand is BariActiv and they come free with my Nascobal nasal b12 spray. I only pay 25 a month for all of this. My doc did all the processing for these for me.

I'm going to look into another kind when I see my doc.

      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!!
