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.

The multivitamin patch is wonderful. Slap a new one on every day with no side effects.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
