Rejecting ProCare Health Bariatric Capsules



Recommended Posts

My one flounder since this surgery is these vitamins! I take and have taken supps for years, but this one is the only one I've ever taken (aside from bad and cheap fish oil), that my stomach instantly rejects, ProCare Health Bariatric Capsules. I don't even feel safe taking them any longer. Tonight was it! Can you please recommend something else, if you've had issues with this supp.? Thank you Kindly... I know I went on a tangent here, but its super upsetting, I really don't understand why this is so harsh esp as a bariatric supplement.

Thanks again, for suggestions!

I have found high potency Vitamins can be difficult to take at the best of times. I certainly can't take them on an empty stomach.

I have found better results taking a regular Multivitamin and then individual supplements throughout the day. Trying to combine all my Vitamins in one pill is a recipe for disaster for me.

My surgeon gave me a recommended supplement list and recommended schedule.

Thanks Inner Surf. Girl! I was trying to avoid taking more than a couple pills. I may use the patch for a month then go back to a different pill after Im on full foods. I do have a list with various options, will go back to the drawing board and see whats going to work for me. New tummy new rules! :D

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
