Pain after Vitamins



Recommended Posts

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
