Can multi-vitamins be taken at night & still be effective? I have become severely anemic (to the extent of needing blood transfusions) but cannot tolerate Vitamins throughout the day. I becomevso nauseous and shaking after taking them that I am unable to function. Please offer solutions that have worked that I may try. Thank you!

yes - they should be fine regardless of when you take them.

On a related issue, although the current Iron form I take (carbonyl) doesn't upset my stomach, i started taking iron before bed because the original type I was taking DID bother my stomach - taking it before bed helped with that (and I still take my iron before bed - just out of habit at this point)). So I don't see a reason why you can't take a multi before bed.

I agree that it doesn’t matter what time you take it of the day but to ideally avoid the nausea alltogether have you tried taking a Vitamin with lower doses and just take it twice a day?

I was told to take Vitamins with food to help with absorption. I find that taking it with food helps with the nausea. I take my Multivitamin at night, but I eat a good snack with it. It can still make me throw up if I don't have enough food in my stomach!

Just don’t take Calcium supplements within 2 hours of your Iron supplement. Calcium inhibits the absorption of iron.

So when i first started taking them it was making me very nauseous. The nutritionist told me to take the multivitamin with Iron at night before bed along with a small snack. That helped a ton.

      I don't know when I reached Onederland but just weighed myself @198. 😁

      Constantly amazing myself. This is probably a normal experience for all of us on a WL journey.
      This morning I was at 174 pounds (78.9 kilos). I can perceive that my brain hasn't really caught up to this yet, as I still feel obese, even though I am close to being considered a normal weight, not even overweight. The smaller clothes, the higher fitness level, the great blood work results, the energy- these all tell me a totally different story!
      I have NEVER EVER been, never, not once in my life, nada, zip, zilch, zero times, been "thin." I think this explains some of the disconnect between the reality of my body and the stuckness of my brain. I do have confidence that my mind will catch up soon ❤️
      Not really having the experience of true hunger yet, but I can perceive the peristalsis of my digestive tract. And I am getting very good at spotting head hunger, and simply noticing it, like a Buddhist.

      I ordered the Barbecue Protein Crisps here from BariatricPal, and find them quite tasty. The Ranch flavour, not so much. They are very filing and have a satisfying crunch.
      I continue to shrink, and am amazed at the changes all over my body. Visually, it is striking to me. In the mirror, I look thin to my eyes, but I don't feel thin, although I can see more bones and veins and tendons and floppy skin. Cardio-wise, It takes a lot more effort to get my heart rate up and I'm now monitoring which heart zone I can get into and for how long. My resting heart rate is the lowest it's ever been.
      If I think about it, and I left myself feel it for a time, I weep (like, boohoo cry) with joy. I am so grateful to myself, and proud of myself for having the courage to have taken the leap to better health.
