Ok....looking for hints. I am taking Celebrate Bariatric Vitamins. I am trying to get them all in but it's 13 pills a day and I am trying to find the right order to keep me from vomiting. It seems to be the Calcium I think that is making it horrible. They have a very "cleanser" type of smell that goes along with them. Any of you out there have any types/tips you would like to share on Vitamin taking? Because I know all surgeons can be different, my surgeon has me taking

B12 three times weekly

Vitamin D daily

B complex with thiamine daily

Calcium with D three times daily (thats 6 pills a day)

Mulitvitamin (3 pills a day)

the last is just my omeprazole which i may or may not keep taking--will find out friday.

thanks

It may be your vit. D, I take it with the cacium, they seem to go hand-in-hand. I have to take at least 5000 units of the D for my hyperparathryroidism, and it immediately will come right back up if I don't take it with calcium. I also try to make sure I have some food (doesn't need to be a lot, just something for it to bind with) in my sleeve, and that seems to really help the nausea. Do you split up your Vitamins throughout the day? My NUT has suggested to do so, so what I do is this:

after breakfast: B12 (dissolvable)

multi-Vitamin

Biotin (dissolvable)

Vit. E

Vit. D (liquid)

2 calcium (chewables)

later in the day, by at least 2 hours: Iron (chewable)

early evening, at least 2 ours after he iron: 2 calcium (chewables)

Vitamin D is extremely nauseating for me, but it is not if I take the calcium with it. Good luck to you!

The calcium will block the iron, so don't take them together, if you take iron.
