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

You might want to consider the PatchMD Multivitamin that you wear. I'm almost 4 months out, been using the Patches for 2 months and my 3 month labs all came back in the normal range - I still chew Calcium and take B12 shots. Oh, and my Dr. approves.

      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!
