Question:
Vitamins?
I am 8 months out RNY and trying to find a multi vitamin that does not make me sick. I have tried gummies, chewables along with easy to swallow ones, but they all make me so nauseated. Does anyone else have this problem, and are there any good ones to order online? — Finally_Me (posted on April 2, 2009)

I take a liquid vitamin once a day (Vit-acell) that tastes like strong
orange juice. The only thing it doesn't contain is the calcium citrate,
which should be taken separately from some of the vitamins in the liquid.
It costs $26, and I get it at a place called either Max Muscle or Muscle
Max. It's really pretty good. I take my biotin and my thyroid and my
vitamin K with it, since you have to down a whole ounce of it.

I'll be 5 months out on Saturday and I've been taking Women's One A Day
since my 2 month check-up...did your NUT suggest anything to you instead of
the gummies, chewables, etc...??

My NUT suggested liquids first, then gummies, chewables, then gummies. I am
afraid I am not getting enough nutrients from the gummies, but the tablets
and chewables make me dump horribly for some reason. :(

I've been a long time advocate of liquid vitamins. One ounce in the
morning, and I'm done with vitamins for the day. I use NHR Epic Ultra
liquid vitamins, and these actually taste like apple cider. I've shared
these vitamins with many of my post op support group members, and all of us
have received very good lab reports, indicating how well the NHR vitamins
work. These cost close to $30 a month if one bottle is ordered, but you can
save money by buying 5 bottles at a time, net cost with shipping is $23.15
a month. I speak about these in more detail on my profile page, both in
blogs and my long profile story. DAVE

Bariatric vitamins are best, read the labels on percentage of type of
vitamins are in each dose; they are chewable, no sugar and taste great.
Gummy chewable kids vitamins are for kids, and do not allow for adequate
absorption if you have RYN which is a mal-absorption for food too.
Remember, you will need to take them for the rest of your life.

That's the reason I can't take liquid vitamins well...They burn and make me
sick as well. Even many chewable vitamins that I have tried over the years
will also make me a little nauseous as well...So I often take my
multivitamins just after lunch so the vitamins are on top of some food or I
take with a little something fatty (like raw almonds or avocado,
peanutbutter, olive oil, a little sip of milk or bite of cottage cheese as
well.) These fatty foods coat well and stop the burn. Plus, if you are
taking any ole chewable/ regular fat soluble vitamins, the fat can aid in
absorption, the rest are mainly water soluble so I chew it with a sip of
water and I'm fine! This advice was from my Nut. Eating a little tiny
spritz of good fat with( at the same time as) any raw or vitamin rich
veggies and grains will aid in absorption of natural fat soluble vitamins
in those foods as well. I usually pan fry my veggies in a spritz of olive
oil (No butter) or use a oil and vinegar dressing on salads for this reason
as well. Vitamins can be quite harsh on a sensitive pouch...Mine was for
many years! It's gotten better though...

I ordered a sample package from bariatric advantage and found their vitamns
very agreeable i liked just getting the sample pakage to give them a test
drive first and they also use the best forms of vitamins and minerals i
like the orange multi - the lemon lime iron - berry b12 - mint calcium!!!
get the sample pack and see for yourself
