Pain after Vitamins

7 months out and I have been taking my vitamins in pill form vs chewable for about 4 weeks now. Three days ago I was in agony. I thought it was something I ate or drank.

Last night I took my vitamins and it started again. Seems ill have to go back to chewable. Has this happened to anyone else?

The pain was horrible!

I take the bariatric advantage capsule ones (opened and sprinkled on yogurt for the first 2 weeks---yuk) and such pain...it is the closest I have came to throwing up in this whole process. I now take one at a time, wait 30 minutes and drink at least 8 ounces of water and then take the second one. Much better.

P.S. Looks like we are ticker twins:D

I'm back to using my tespo machine for now. I'll stick with the liquid vs the pills. The pain is not something I want to feel again.

No issues here with swallowing a vitamin pill except if my stomach is completely empty. I have a supplement/med cocktail I take in the morning of about 11 pills so I need to eat first and then I am good to go.

Using PatchMD patches myself, no need to chew or swallow anything. Just slap them on and go. I'm doing a test with my team, I'm not taking ANY oral vitamins outside of the B vitamins. So in a few weeks when I get my blood drawn, I'll know if these patches work or not.
