Are you taking chewables or solid pills?
DH had similar feelings when to took the regular multi-vits. The P.A. suggested trying the chewables again. He's back to taking the chewables and feels fine.
I take the reg. multi-vits along with all my other vits and pills 1st thing in the morning and have no effects.
This just goes to show that all RNY'ers react differently.

Kelly is right. I'm a coffee drinker and went through with drawl after surgery- terrible headaches and feeling wiped out- more than just from surgery/anesthesia.
I wish I had tapered off prior to surgery.
Now- it's another story- I enjoy my coffee. DH and joke about what size me cup is. It and my water bottle are the only things in my life now that are extra large!

Topic: 8 weeks after RNY and feeling wonderful!
Hi,
Just wanted to check in. My RNY was at MMC April 27th. I am doing really great! No complications other than anesthesia yukiness. The first week or two I felt weak and tired but after than I felt better quickly and went back to work at 2 weeks.
I am learning to slow down and eat small bites, still! I do ocassionaly get stuck, but it usually goes down eventually. I have lots of energy and I am already off my high blood pressure medication. I am rarely hungry and its a different milder kind of hunger than I had before. I was ALWAYS hungry!! I am eating all food types now. I do dump though and that is not fun!
I have quite a few videos on You tube about my WLS. You can go to You Tube and search itsallaboutkathy or google itsallaboutkathy and they will come up!
Best wishes and good success to my fellow Mainers!

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT!
I take my vitamins every morning and every morning shortly after I take my vitamins I get really nauseous! 
I hate the feeling but I deal with it because I need my vitamins. I take it with a small amount of food but I am still nauseous. I have phenergan (sp) and I take that but it doesn't help. I am wondering if there is a "magic" food that will help with the sick feeling. It is a very bad feeling and I know I can't stop taking my vitamins (I wouldn't do that anyway). I just want to be a ease when I take my meds!

20 pounds lost during two week pre-op diet.
Better to get the withdrawel over with now than deal with that early post op, you'll have other stuff to deal with then! Glad you are feeling better.

My wife says you CAN have coffee in the two-weeks pre-op (at least she did...and she was pretty sure that was in the Week 1 book...)
I used to get those caffeine hangovers too...I got mine from soda (mostly Mtn. Dew...)...Oy, what I wouldn't give for a found soda right now...
Keep on' Rockin'!!!
(Connie says there's actually a recipe for mocha coffee IN the book they give you for the two weeks before...The orange Phase 2 book...)

Thanks David. I was just wondering because I thought my migraine yesterday may be due to not having my coffee. The migraine is gone now so I am not really worried about it. I know that we can NOT have coffee for at least the first two weeks post op but I know eventually we can. I was just desperate to cure the migraine yesterday and finally I just cured it by going to sleep :)
Thanks for all of your support! I am ROCKING DAY THREE :)
