Me too! I can’t stand chewable ones but the patches are brilliant.

I’ve also started with micro Vit D tabs which are easy to take - thank God for Amazon!

Unjury makes a great chewable that's 1tab a day. You're probably getting nauseous because it's too much for your stomach. You should get a pill cutter and cut the chewable in 4 parts. Take throughout the day with food. This way you're not overloading your stomach with a huge tablet and your body is absorbing smaller amounts at each intake.

I take the celebrate multivitamin chewable with iron as well. I only take with meals, with breakfast and dinner. On top of this I take vitamin b12, vitamin d, calcium, thiamin, and started biotin to see if it would help with my hair.

Very vital to stick with a regimen as others have stated and check labs. Not everyone will absorb the patches, so it is important to check levels to catch deficiencies before they become serious.

Who would have thought we would be ooh aahing over a small tube of Baritrack Vitamins? I'll tell you ,my friends, we have lowered ourselves to Weight Loss porn, you show me your Vitamin and I'll show you mine![emoji13][emoji106][emoji13]

Good to know. I'm going to try the Trader Joes ones!

These are the ones I take as well.

Baritrack multivitamins is awesome.
Is like powder candy and no stomach problems.
Really good.

i like the bariatric advantage soft chews,taste like a starburst.they have all different flavors.

I was talking to my surgeon's PA about struggling getting my vitamins in due to all of them causing nausea, and having to be taken on a full stomach. She told me she has the same issue, and told me she takes Whole Foods Prenatal vitamins. I ordered some, and I'm amazed, they don't upset my stomach at all. Being able to take vitamins on an empty stomach makes it much more likely I'll get them in!

Thank you so much for posting this!!! You would just need to add VitB12 and calcium to this. I believe that according to bariatric standards the B12 in these isn't enough.

I've gotten a couple of B12 shots from my surgeons office. I have a prescription for Nascobal nasal spray going forward, although it is not covered by my insurance, grr!

I just need to find a complete calcium pill that doesn't upset my stomach

Check with a few of the reduced rate websites, GoodRx is one that comes to mind. Also check with the manufacturer yourself. I see commercials all the time saying "Astra Zeneca may be able to help" if they do maybe others will also. Another poster said he/she found a way to save $60 of a $120 prescription. Just saw it a little while ago.[emoji13]Update it was siilykitty on B12 nasal sprays the same? Look it up, okay?

Are you still taking this powder? Does it upset your stomach if you take it on empty?
