My Multivitamin from the surgeon makes me nauseous. I have to take 2 a day and have split them up and take them. At different times and with food. Anyone else have a suggestion on how to take it with out feeling ill. It's the only time I feel like barfing.

Me too! I was just about to post about this. It's the only time I feel crappy. I need a new vitamin...one that's easy to tolerate. Thanks for posting this, I"m hoping for suggestions as well.

Ive had really good luck with Centrum chewables (orange flavored). I didn't like some of the others my surgeon suggested and these were also on the approved list. I take 2 per day.

So you take 2 instead of the 1 it says on the bottle?

Yep, 2 per day per my surgeons and dietician. I usually take one in the morning and one in the evening so that they're spread out.

I may try that. I took them pre op and the first week after but the Dr called these in for me and I started taking these since they are a package deal.

We are prescribed Forceval but the damn things are like bunker buster bombs at just over 2cm long each. Worse is you can feel them pop in your belly.
Swapping back to my own at end of week, can't swallow these buggers.

When i started out i was only allowed chewable but no gummies. (yet) Took Bariatric Fusion but it tasted disgusting to me. After 1 month my surgeon allowed me to take the gummies and i've never looked back. They're a bit sweet but better than anything else i've taken so far. I buy Costco's Kirkland adult gummies, or vitafusion women's gummies. Both have done a great job so far. Or if you want skip pills/chewables altogether can try the vitamin patches but some people say they don't work for them.

I'm 2.5 months post op, and I use the patch! Have had no problems, and my levels are excellent!

I use the Bariatric fusion in Orange Cream. The chews aren't bad either. Sometimes I will just blend them up in my smoothie so I don't have to chew them.

Ugh! I still struggle with this! I'm still trying to find the right multivitamin. Everything I try seems to make me sick to my stomach. Have been curious about the patch...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
