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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
