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 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 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.
