Vitamin Trouble

Ok, so i am 5 and a half weeks post VSG. I am using Opurity Brand vitamins: Calcium (2 tabs two times daily) one multi, one iron. I take them two hours apart and am TRYING to eat when i take them but as you all know I cannot eat very much at one time. So far they have come back up a few times and I AM VERY WARY OF TAKING THEM!

I know i need to take them as i eat mostly protein of course.

Any suggestions? ??

Thanks,

Susan

Which one is making you sick? Can you narrow it down? Try a different brand. Some vitamins make me nauseous, too (One a Day makes me sick but Centrum does not)

Thanks for your reply. I have vommitted each of them at separate times! And i spent so much money on them i cannot afford to change right now.

Perhaps i will give them to my non-bariatric sister and try centrum.

Ugh!

Taking them with food is key for me. A poster here, Cappy, found that mixing them into yogurt really helped her.

I take all my vites now timed with my meals and that helps.

Thanks so much! I had forgot about crushing them and mixing with applesauce or yogurt. I will definitely do that!

Are they chewable vitamins? Post-op, chewable vitamins make me nauseous because they contain sugar alcohols. I also don't like the impact to your teeth.

I would try swapping them out for pills now. Take them one at a time, nice and slow.
