Tried a new Vitamin today and omg these made me throw up like crazy within probably of 4 minutes of taking it. Straight into the garbage they go. They were also disgusting.

It might be less a restocking fee or shipping fees but you should be able to get your money back. I don’t know how expensive those are but it may be worth sending them back.

I can't stomach chewable vitamins. I take the capsules from ProCare Health and have since surgery. Never had an issue with them.

I take those as well. I did take the chewables immediately post op but it was actually just because they were first on the list my dr reccomended because I was able to swallow pills just fine. They have only upset my stomach once and it was because I took it first thing in morning after just a couple sips of my Protein Shake. Now I take it towards the end of the shake and I am always fine.

I tried those too. Yuck! I just posted about patch Vitamins my surgeon recommended. They are the BEST! Check out PatchAid.com. I've been using them for about one week and I have had zero nausea :)

I have been using Patches from this website here bariatricpal since i got my surgery. idk if they are working. I would need to get blood test done to ensure they are.

Good idea. I will ask my doctor to order some labs in about a month. I feel really well though, so I am hoping that is a positive indication they are working.

I actually saw my surgeon today and he said he will send me lab orders before my next appointment (In 3 months) But the good thing is i can buy my own lab orders online on a website called walkinlab.com the only thing is you pay for them (cant use insurance) i have bought like a dozen test before in the past just to get a idea on how i am doing. They work if you have a labcorp or Quest diagnostic in your area to do the testing.

Good to know! I do have Labcorp and Quest near me. Thanks for sharing, I'll have to check it out.

Also worst ever award goes again to BariMelts for their disgusting Calcium chewable tablets. Yuck! Into the bin with them! Part of me said but they cost $30, and the rest of me said not today Satan!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
