Getting sick after taking vitamins



Recommended Posts

Post-op, I was told to take Bariatric Advantage AE, which are horrid horse pills that I had trouble swallowing. I cut them in half. I cut them in fourths. I mashed them in applesauce. I got sick every time.

Finally, I just switched myself to a generic Walgreen brand for senior citizens. They work fine, and my numbers are always fine on my blood tests every three months. (2 1/2 years out).

I've taken Vitamins for years, and every single Vitamin I tried made me nauseous, until I tried the Flintstones Complete chewables. My RD recommended them, and they are sooooooo easy on my stomach. I wish now I'd discovered them years ago.

I take vitafusion prenatal gummies.... easier for weight loss patients. ( bear in mind I hated Gummy Vitamins these ones are not horrible) .. and you get what you need. i also take a phillips brand Fiber which also has B 12 in it... I thought my b 12 was low because I was tired actually my Vitamin d was a lil high 0-o most peoples are low funny since I do not drink nor like nor have ever liked milk. But the Fiber keeps me regular... I take 2 in the morning two at night of the fiber... and the prenatals I take two in the morning and one at night ( trying to lower the Vitamin D and find the right level for it as all my other blood tests came back perfect. Bear in mind I have no thyroid and chronic back pain due to arthritis in my spine knees and hips so I also take pain meds

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
