I cant stomach vitamins



Recommended Posts

I just got this kind of "keurig" for Vitamins. It's called Tespo. It blends all of my daily bariatric vitamins so I can drink them instead of take them in pill form. I'm supposed to take 2 servings a day, but when I try to take them I just end up puking uncontrollably and it ruins my whole day in regards to being able to eat anything. Has anyone had any similar problems to vitamins like this at all?

I have always had a hard time keeping Vitamins down. That's why I bought the BariMelts that melt in your mouth. I'm having my surgery on the 26th, but have been using the Barimelts for a month now. Hope that helps.

This is common - You may want to try some of the liquid vitamins also - I mix em all up really cant handle the pill also i dont toss them but they do raise hell for a long time

The powders work good for me as long as i dilute them with protien shake

I had a very similar challenge. I was sick to my stomach for 6 straight weeks post-op and determined it was the multi I was taking, just too strong for my stomach. I switched to VitaCraves adult multi Gummy and take an Iron gummy too and it has made a world of difference. No puking and able to eat food and keep it down. You just need to find what works for you. All Vitamins are not created equally.

I’m a little over a year out and I still can’t stomach them. I have to have something already in my tummy to keep them down

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
