Hi! My roux en y was 4/4. I've done well overall; I do tend to dump pretty easily, though.

My Vitamins...ugh! Does anyone take these in pill form? I've only had chewable. I've tried a few different ones, but they all nauseate me and I end up throwing up. The actual thought of them right now made me dry heave. I wish I was kidding.

This is surprising to me because I'm usually a suck-it-up kind of gal. Ideas?

Do you take them with food? Do these Vitamins have Iron in them?

I can't take multi Vitamin that has iron in it, I have to take iron different time of the day by itself... Maybe try that?

Sorry you are not feeling well... I use the nascobal brand

I haven't had my surgery yet. I take the Celebrate Multi Vitamin with Iron and every time I take it - about 5 min later I get a wave of nausea but it quickly passes. I'm hoping that's not going to be worse after surgery!

Taking iron supplements can make you nauseous. It helped me to take my vitamins and supplements with a few sips of an Atkins shake.

I had the same problem - I'm now wearing the Patches that they sell on the store here https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/vitamin-patch/products/multivitamin-plus-patch-30-day-supply

I haven't been tested yet but I have read other topics on this forum that suggest they work well... couple of post on this forum about them http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/366414-patch-md/?hl=%2Bpatches#entry4145353
