Vitamins

hi,

I bought 3 months of vitamins from vitalady and just started taking them today. Since my surgery I have never been sick or even thought I was going to be sick but after taking my noon vitamins today I was sick to my stomach. How long before everyone started their full day of vitamins after surgery?

I was 5 days post.

Try with different fluids and with/without food.  Split them up more.  Take one pill every time you take a drink.  Change things up a bit.  You may have better luck taking them with SF pudding too.

I started the day I came home from the hospital

Work up to the full regimen slowly. First culprit could be the iron. Start by taking 1 capsule for the first week and if you do ok, add a second capsule the 2nd week and so forth until you can take the full dose. Another culprit could be the zinc. Try not taking the zinc for a couple of days and see if you still get sick.

The iron at full dose the first time I tried it made me sick too. Vitalady said to take it slowly as I suggested above.  You can ease into those vitamins. Try the multies, D3 and calcium at first and go from there...slowly one week at a time.  : )

Thanks for the suggestions. The rest of yesterdays vitamins went ok and this mornings are done. But I will try cutting back if I start to feel sick again. I also noticed that many of you take omega 3 that is not something that I received when I ordered my 3 month supply from vitalady is that something I should be adding to my daily vitamins?

Thanks,

Trish

The omega 3 isn't a requirement. If you want to start them at some point, they aren't a bad idea. I don't eat a lot of fish so I make it up by taking omega 3-- Barlean's swirl fish oil. It's an emulsion and easier for us to absorb. Coromega is another option and I think Vitamin Shoppe carries their own brands.
