2 days post op and i started Bariatric Advantage mixed berry vitamin and I thought it was a little better this morning but same reaction a min later. Mouth watering and trying hard not to throw up. Did anyone else have this issue with Bariatric Advantage and does it go away?

What brands do you like? Need an alternative stat.

Hi Laney. I don't know if I have much to offer you, as my surgery was 11/29 but my bariatric RN said to wait till Monday to introduce the chewable vitamins. She said one a day for a couple of days then increase as tolerated. She did say break it up in your protein shakes. Maybe that will help? Hope you feel good today. I've been told every day is a little better than the last!?

I had the same problem, so I switched from Bariatric Advantage to a Centrum chewable. No more nausea when I take it.

Are you taking the melt in your mouth form or the chewable? I’ve taken the chewable since my surgery and I love them! They taste like candy/starbursts to me. Good luck!

I've thought the bariatric advantage mixed berry tasted like candy tbh

I have always had problems taking vitamins even before my surgery. I take two flinstones every morning and can tolerate them well.

I take 2 Flintstones complete vitamins in morning. My Bloodwork is very good!!!!!!!

I would recommend asking your surgeon about Flintstones -- my surgeon says "no". There are liquid options available.

I'm doing gummies. I know they're not recommended, but I can stomach them so that's a win in my book.

I had lots of problems with vitamins. I am now using Centrum liquid. Don't care for the taste but it doesn't make me nauseous.

I am 4 1/2 months post sleeve and have been using the vitamin patches. I LOVE them. My labs were drawn and all within normal limits. Totally recommend!

We recently introduced an awesome line of Protein + multivitamin Shakes called BariatricPal Protein One which should allow you to get your protein and vitamins at the same time! No more gagging on chewable vitamins or pills!!

I really like the flintstones complete chewable vitamins. They have all the stuff my surgeon recommended in a multivitamin (but I am getting extra b12 and calcium citrate separately) and are cheaper than centrum chewables. And they come in fun shapes and flavors
