ok not liking the new vitamins

I was doing better until I today I started the new vitamins that Dr Jan gave me on my post op appt. EWWWW my tummy really really dosent like them at all, I them right up. this is not a good sign

Kelly, this is KathyS. Whats the name of the vitamins? I take a multivitamin called Centrum Adult chewable orange vitamins. KathyS

I have been taking the chewables also but when I had my post op Dr Jan told me I had to add these 3 supliments one is a Iron with other stuff the only one Insurance would pay for its called niferex Gold and then a balanced B-100 and Citracal Calcium citrate. I have been taking the chewable vita calcuim the ones that takes like chocolate. any way today I tryed the Iron and got sick right away. I just cant imagine taking these every day

Hi Kelly: The only way I can take the Niferex Gold is right before bed. With all the restrictions on the label about when you can take it, seems to work okay then. I have been using the Centrum Chewable Adult for my vitamin. Tried some liquid vitamin from GNC and it was awful. Jeanne

Can you swallow your vites? I take a prenatal vitamin daily (which isn't very large) and 3 calcium pills (which are a bit larger) and I can swallow them just fine. I am 4 months out and have been swallowing pills for at least 2 months. You can even break the tablets in half if they are too big.

Try a chewable calcium, I got mine from Costco...much easier to get down everyday! And since surgery I've been taking a children's vitamin..seems to work just fine. Best of luck. Andrea

Kelly, When Dr Patterson prescribed me the iron and Vit B supplements.....same thing happened. I actuall was foaming at the mouth. I wnet to Bariatric Advantage and ordered chewable iron and disolveable Vit B. Works great. www.bariatricadvantage.com Good Luck! Kristine (surgery Dec 13, 2006)

heh you had surgery with emma patterson my pcp dr yu from Sherwood said i should get thru it fine what was it like i live in the wood

I haven't had the surgery, so really am not a good person to be giving advice, but can you crush them and take them with your protien drink? Just wondering.
