Issues with chewable vitamins



Recommended Posts

I started taking my chewable multi Vitamin twice a day yesterday. They are the Bariatric Advantage berry flavored. The issue is every time I take them I get nauseated. Tonight after I took it, I started throwing up. Any advice or ideas on how to get these down without any issues? Has anyone else had this problem? I am 16 days post-op. These Vitamins are the only thing that have caused me any nausea or vomiting. HELP- I know I need to get these down and keep them there.

Omg!! So glad u posted this!! I sampled some of these EXACT Vitamins BEFORE my surgery. They were so yummy! After my surgery, when I took one it was the most AWFUL experience. The minute it touched my tongue, I felt like I was eating kerosine or something! My mouth instantly watered up, I was gagging, I became dizzy and had to lay down. Forced myself to swallow it and I was miserable for hours. I kept brushing my teeth , but kept tasting tat awful taste.

I called my NUT and she said its that taste bud thing that can change after surgery. Ugh! Wasted money PLUS what to do for Vitamins? She had me start taking Centrum Silver Chewable...two a day...once in morning, once in afternoon. It's been fine.

I waited a few weeks and tried the vitamins again...same sick feeling. Very odd! Good luck!

must be a taste bud thing, I have the same ones and I love them. Maybe it's too soon for those Vitamins? try another brand until you are further out? Maybe some Gummy ones will help

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
