My vitamins made me throw up :(

Hi, I’m taking the bariatric multivitamin with iron (I’ll try to attach a pic). The first time I broke it open and dumped a little bit in my mouth with some water bc I wasn’t sure my stomach could handle the big pill or break down the capsule. I instantly vomited (first time since my surgery 4 weeks ago). Then today I took the whole pill hoping it would just break down. It didn’t hurt or get stuck, felt fine digestive wise, but within five minutes my mouth started watering and I vomited again. Ughhhh is there a chewable that has the same thing thisnone has? I don’t wanna take more than one pill a day so that’s why I bought this one. Thanks for any advice, I really appreciate it!

I started throwing up my vitamins also. I used the chewable bariatric advantage. The doctor said to just take a break for a bit from them or try taking them before bed.

I am pre-op and trying to prep for the big DAY. I purchased this Vitamin online with Amazon. It says 1 once Daily. What other Vitamins would or do you take along with this one?

I had trouble with vitamins post op - in the first few weeks. Made me puke, too. I switched to a chewable with an iron supplement (my team didn't care what chewable - any regular adult or double the dose of Flinstones kids) and an iron supplement because chewables can't have iron in them. (Some kind of chemistry thing I don't understand.) I use the Vitafusion Women's which I buy at Costco. My levels have been good for the last 2 years.

Can you cancel the order and I’ll send you this? It’s a full bottle and I’ll never use it.

I bought celebrate chewables and have to take my multi in pieces because it makes me vomit. I can tolerate it in small pieces broken up. Take celebrate B12 sublingual quick melt and bariatric advantage chewy bite calcium citrate with d3. Those I tolerate twice a day no problem.
