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.

I take Bariatric Advantage Chewy multi and calcium twice a day. They taste great. Initially, they made me nauseous if I took them on an empty stomach, but I was fine after a few days.

Is there a flavor of Bariatric Advantage chews you like best?

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 like the strawberry watermelon multi and the caramel calcium.

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.

I use Bariatric Fusion Strawberry and I love 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...
