I get sick when taking my Bariatric Advantage multi Vitamins. The Calcium I can stomach, and the B12. Is there a liquid or a one -a day multi I can take that won't make me sick.

I'm still working on getting all my vitamins in plus I haven't reached my Protein or Fluid goal yet!!! I'm almost for weeks out.Did it take anyone this long to get the hang of this?

I switched to the Bariatric Advantage capsules as soon as I was allowed to swallow them. They are much easier to take than the chalky chewables!

How long did it take you to switch?

I can take some pills now without issue. Are they small enough to take 4wks out.

I use PatchMD vitamin patches. I am really happy them so far. I have my 2 month blood work checkup mid October so I am really hoping they are doing their job !!

@Bobbis-- when can we switch to taking regular medicine versus crushing everything.

I'm no authority on that. You may want to start a new thread. I'm kinda on my own until Oct 7th when I see my NUT. If it's small enough you don't need to crush I'm not sure of the exact size. Not sure what the appropriate time frames are either. However, I started taking mine hole one week ago. They are very small.

It is up to your doctor. Mine let me try the capsules when I started on solid foods. They are soft capsules and I had no problem swallowing them. I also take the Bariatric Advantage chews for calcium.

I am going to try the patch. It will be a lot easier on me.

I think the patch sounds wonderful. Or a capsule one a day. For the calcium too if possible. I'm horrible with meds more than one time aday!

Please let me know how your blood work comes back.

It can take a little longer for some than others. You’re still in the healing process, and truthfully I’ve heard many people say Bariatric Advantage Vitamins make them feel pretty awful. I have been taking Vita4Life for 8 years now, and I have never had issues with my labs. I swear by this company and their vitamins. When I placed my order last week, I was told they’re coming out with a chewable in a month or two. You may want to contact them or keep your eye on their website for the product. It’s worth a shot? As for Protein, I had to eat a lot of very small meals in the beginning. I drank something called EOS Carb Control premade shakes. Each contained I think 15 grams of protein, and they’re absolutely delicious. I miss them now that I think about it! Lol They look like this: http://justalittlebalance.blogspot.com/2012/04/eas-carb-control-shakes-review.html

If you want to check out Vita4Life, their site is here. Good luck with your search. You’ll find your new normal… just don’t give up the search. www.vita4life.net

I had no idea there was a Vitamin patch! YES!!! So glad you mentioned them Shellyd67!!! Thank you!! Taking the multi twice a day, I still get sick. Makes me all nauseous and barfy feeling for about 20 minutes. I have tried the chewable, the liquid, doesn't matter, I still get ill. I am 8 weeks post op, and do not want to feel this way twice a day, every day, for the rest of my life. I just ordered the Multivitamin patch and the B12 patch. Taking the D3 and Calcium is no big deal, they do not bother me. Hopefully the Patches will be a God-send and I can get past the nausea.

Bod Smith Liquid Prenatal you can find on Amazon. Also BOD Smith has liquid calcium that goes really well with orange cream shakes.
