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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
