I just replaced my chewable "gummy" Bariatric advantage vitamins with a chewy Bariatric advantage tablet, because they quit making the starburst- like one. I've taken them with and without food, but every time I've taken them they give me an upset stomach. Has anyone else experienced this? If you've found a Bariatric quality vitamin that doesn't upset your stomach please share.

I only take chewable B12 and D3 and they feel fine. My multivitamin leaves me standing over the sink or behind bushes for minutes and minutes on end until the nausea goes away. I take calcium and iron that are non-chewables that do not cause this problem. I am looking for chewable recommendations, by the way, if you have any.

@@skinnyrita Some of mine did. I stopped taking vitamins all together 4 months ago so I had my surgeon check my labs last month and they were perfect. I'm not saying don't take them. Do what your surgeon says. I just stopped because they were making me feel worse than good. I have my labs checked regularly so I can keep a check on them.

Mine don't make me nauseous, but I was taking the Bariatric Advantage Multi before surgery, and after surgery I just can't stomach the taste. I switched to Celebrate.

Thanks to all of you for your responses. It's clear we all have a wide range of responses after surgery to different vitamins. I may have to get the kind you swallow and forgo the chewy ones????

Someone suggested to me taking the multivitamin right after eating. I tried that and haven't had any nausea since!! Made all the difference in the world. Give it a try! I hope it works for you too because I suffered through the daily nausea for months and I feel for you all. It's not fun

I have to take a liquid multi with stevia, because I can't have any sugar substitutes due to allergys , and it makes me very nauseous ! Does anyone know of any chewables that don't have fake sugar ? Can we take regular pill Vitamins eventually ? Or is this a forever thing w/chewables or liquids?

Update on Do Your Vitamins Make You Nauseous:

I called Bariatric Advantage yesterday and they will exchange the chewables that were making me sick for a different multi vitamin????????????????

Bariatric Advantage makes me gag has anyone tried barimelts?

Bariatric Advantage Chewables made me violently ill! Projectile vomiting! They went in the trash. Going to try the Vitamin patch.

Thnks for your post, I thought I was the only one

I take chewable Vitamin and gage each time, but doesn't cause nausea. I will go to a pill again once my Dr says okay.

I also take a b-12, but it's liquid and I love it (natures best)

Finally I take a Calcium - chewable - taste like a piece of chocolate -- love it

I'm only two weeks out and LOVE this site. Keep the info coming those of you who have been "through it".

Thanks Everyone!

I'm on BariActiv and the calcium with d and mg and the iron are great. The multivitamin I struggle with. Today I've broken them into 4 pieces each (I need 2 a day) and spaced out dissolving the pieces in my mouth. It's still not fun but at least a little bit more tolerable and I haven't needed to take a Zofran with it today like I did the last 2 days.

Any multivitamin that I take in pill form makes me nauseous. I thought it was the iron but even ones without it make me ill. I take Vitafusion gummies and supplement with iron and B-12. This is the only solution that works for me and 2 years out, my labs are good. Good luck!

I have tried so many kinds of bariatric vitamin that I have lost count. I also tried lots of over the counter vitamins just hoping for something to help my nutrition needs. I was nauseated or gagging from the taste on all of them. I finally found one that wasn't too big that worked pretty good. It was One a Day prenatal with folic acid & DHE. But my absolute favorite, or vitamin patches! Just started a few weeks ago but no nausea, skin irritations, no problems at all! Another good thing is the cost. They are less expensive than any of the bariatric I tried.

Hi how do I post something on here super lost !!!!
