No matter if taken after meals, vitamins make me NAUSEATED!



Recommended Posts

I can’t take bariatric Vitamins because I have a severe sensitivity to zinc unless it is in piccolinate form, I also can’t take Iron due to an overload. I get very nauseous from zinc even before surgery. Iron can do this as well. I’d highly suggest splitting up your vitamins into different groups, it’s less convenient but it will save the issues of nausea. I take a b complex, zinc, vit c, D-K2, magnesium, and liver capsules.

I wonder if using the Patches will cause less constipation from Calcium and Iron? That’s the issue I have. Have to take Fiber everyday forever it seems and never had issues before all these Vitamins.

I haven't really had Constipation but not sure it has anything to do with the patch, even though that makes sense. My dr had me do a colon cleanse, similar to what you do for colonoscopy, day before surgery. So, I really didn't have a bm until a couple of wks after surgery. And now, I'm eating vegs, so I have been pretty regular. But maybe the combination, the colon prep and using the patch has helped me avoid any serious bm issues.

I had issues with nausea and vomiting. I used to take the multivitamin/iron capsule from this website, as well as Citracal petites. Vomited nearly every day.

I changed it to a Multivitamin with no Iron, that I take after a few bites of Breakfast. At lunch, I take a slow release iron after a few bites. This regimen was suggested by a pharmacist. Then I take 1 tablespoon of liquid calcium citrate in late afternoon, and another at night.

no more vomiting! GL!

I don’t know if it is just the Vitamin I take or what, and I had Vitamin intolerance BEFORE my sleeve, but I am literally having to MAKE myself take these. I TAKE THE Bariatric Advantage soft chews. They taste fine, but damn! Do you guys have any advice? I have actually skipped a few days of Vitamins because I would like to NOT feel sick!

thanks for any suggestions. Again, I do eat first.

I was the same way, I take my Calcium chew of a morning and my other ones that make me sick at night right before bed.

I take my Vitamin right before bed as they were making me nauseous also. It did the trick.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
