Problem with taking the vitamins



Recommended Posts

Hi, I was wondering if anybody else had problems with taking in their Vitamins. I am in the second week after my gastric sleeve and every time I try to take my Multi Vitamins I feel sick in my stomach, weak or vomit. I have Baricol in 4 different forms an none seems to work. Is this normal? Should I continue taking them even if they make me sick until I adapt?

Maybe try patch Vitamins if you can't stomach the normal ones. You NEED your vitamins so you can't not take them, but if you can't stomach them then patch vitamins would be an option

I am seven weeks post sleeve & could not do the soft chew Vitamins (stuck) or the chewable ones (dry). I ordered vitamin patches & am so happy with them, I'm certain this will be the way for me, always.






Can you explain how you do them?

I can definitely tell a difference when I wear them and when I don't...I got bariatric-specific vitamin patches & I've been pleased so far. I googled and read about each kind to decide which ones I wanted to use first. Good luck to you in finding some you like!

Every morning, I put my Patches on. They only have to be worn for 8 hours/day... So, I take them off before bed. They are very sticky, and hard to remove if I try to remove them too early... That's the only down side, really... So far, anyway.

I have never heard of a Vitamin Patch, that is actually really awesome! To answer the initial question in this thread, yes. For months after my surgery I couldn't take a Vitamin without throwing up. If I took it with food then it was a little better and sometimes I just got nauseous without actually throwing up. I talked to my doctor and switched to a different brand of Vitamins and that completely stopped it. I don't know what was in the first brand that caused issues but I was amazed that it just stopped with the other one. Maybe it would be a good idea to talk to your doctor and maybe try switching brands to see if this might be the case. Good luck!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
