Nausea with chewable multi vitamin



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Dec 22nd. The last few days I am having difficulty taking my chewable multi Vitamin. I have Celebrate chewable Multi Vitamins. Each tablet is pretty big. I am dreading to take them each night! Has anyone else had the same issue? Any suggestions on alternatives? Please help!!!

I'm 3 months out and I still get nauseated after the Celebrate Multi Vitamins. After I'm finished this bottle, I'm going to Flinstones Complete. I can't stand the nausea.

I am taking Bariatric Advantage Vitamins twice a day. I have been swallowing them since I started taking them. I have always had a hard time taking pills no matter what the size. I never really learned how to swallow them normally, I have always had to place them all the way to the back of my throat and then drink something.

I did find that I cannot take these Vitamins after dinner like I was doing originally. One after Breakfast and one after dinner but taking one that late made me wake up "tasting" it. Yuck!! Now I take them after Breakfast and lunch and it works so much better for me. I have had to set a timer on my phone to remind myself to take my after lunch Vitamin and this seems to be helping.

Congratulations on your new sleeve. You are going to love your new life! I am about 6 months post op. I have only thrown up a couple of times since having my surgery, and both times it was because of those dang chewable vitamins. I take the Bariatric Advantage chewable ones. I finally got creative. I leave two out on the the kitchen counter each night; this makes them a bit softer. The next day, I crumble them with my fingers and stir them into a bit of greek yogurt. I do this morning and night. You do not even taste them, and they have not made me nauseated even a little bit since then. Plus, we all know the greek yogurt is a great source of Protein. I know it may not work for everyone, but it has been a life saver for me.

Good luck to you!

I take one Centrum Complete chewable Multivitamin. I will bite into it, eat some plain greek yogurt, then the last half I plop onto another spoonful of yogurt. Works great!

At the beginning, I made the mistake of taking it with Water, but my throat felt really scratchy afterwards, to where Id start coughing.

      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!!
