Anyone take liquid vitamins?



Recommended Posts

I take Calcium. Iron and Multivitamins. I think they all make me very nauseous. Anyone try any of the liquid Vitamins? I take steroids so I need a lot of Calcium but they are so big.

I am 5 weeks out and thought I was just starting the feel better but not so quick.

5 weeks out here, too, and having a heckuva time taking Vitamins due to nausea/hurling. I am switching to calcium chews instead of the horse pill wafers. Still trying to eat a piece of multi when I eat. Since I have to take 2 a day, it's challenging. If I take a whole one with food ~ hurl.

For the first 3 months I was taking chewable Bariatric Multis, plus vit B12 in a spray.

Once I finished my BN Multis, I tried regular Multivitamin, and it made me nauseous.

I then tried cutting it in half, and taking it twice a day. This worked for me, no more nausea from regular Multivitamin.< /p>

Still take vit B12 in a spray form, powder vit.C, and massive Calcium/D3 now. All good.

I am 6 months post op, so now I can tolerate some things better, but still cut my multi into halves, and take it twice a day.

For the first several weeks I used liquid multi-vitamins, Iron, and Calcium. I used Wellesse brand. I took a double-dose of the multi-vitamins, one in the morning, one at night.

My labs have always been great.

I've stopped taking calcium supplements of any kind entirely (not convinced they are useful to anyone, sleeved or not, but they appear to have some dangers). I still add in the liquid iron supplement, in addition to my regular iron pill, when my iron panel numbers are not good, and it always seems to help.

I have a tub of the Celebrate Calcium Plus blah blah blah, but I'm going to be using my Tespo almost exclusively since they came out with the bariatric bundle. If you don't know Tespo, it's pretty freaking cool. My nutritionist hadn't heard of it but after she did a little research she gave it the thumbs up. It's not the cheapest Vitamins, but I'm a gadget fan and already had it on the counter, so why not!

I take source of life liquid. I like it because it's a cap full once a day. post-298366-1474458927225_thumb.jpg

Note to self: I don't have to take this day all at once but rather one step, one breath and one moment at a time. I am only one person.

      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?

      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
