Gastric Bypass Vitamins

Vitamins (and lots of them) are a fact of life for anyone who has had the gastric bypass surgery. I am no exception.

This presents a BIG problem!

How can I swallow (and not throw up) so many big vitamins?

Please discuss all nutritional needs (including vitamins) with your physician.

Easy Solution

In addition to a daily B12 "dot" under my tongue I was told by my doctor to chew several kids multivitamins along with several antacid tablets for calcium every day.

This regimen seemed to work great, until my dentist explained to me what I was doing to my teeth.

Several cavities later, I knew I needed something different.

Did you see my video?

You will be shocked!

Hard Solution

I needed to stop taking chewable vitamins or my teeth would continue to pay the price.

Where else could I go but my local grocery store to buy some standard adult multivitamins and calcium supplements.

My teeth improved dramatically, but my health did not. Why? Because I was not able to keep my vitamins down after taking them!

I tried everything I could. I took them at separate times. I broke them into small pieces. Nothing worked.

Eventually I just stopped taking vitamins altogether. Obviously this was NOT good for my health, especially during my two pregnancies.

My Solution

Eventually my frustrations made their way to the ears of a friend who offered to let me try one of her multivitamins.

I gave it a shot thinking that nothing could be worse than what I was taking.

That one capsule changed my life! Seriously.

I have been taking those multivitamins ever since, but I never knew why they worked for me and the others didn't.

Now I do.

My friend showed me something about these vitamins, and I was so shocked that I had to do it again for myself and capture it on video so you can see it too.

Watch the video below as I place one of my multivitamins and one "standard" multivitamin into identical cups of plain tap water.

You will be amazed as you see the "standard" vitamin sit there in the water, largely unchanged, while at the same time my multivitimin disintegrates before your eyes!

Go ahead, watch it. I dare you to not be shocked by what you see.

This makes me wonder, if this is what happens in water, imagine what happens in my stomach!

If you want to try them yourself, this is where I get these vitamins.

Vitamin Questions?

You can probably tell that I am a true believer in my vitamins. I am never going back to anything else!

Taking vitamins has been a monumental challenge for me ever since my surgery. That is why I want to help as many people as I can by sharing what I have found.

If you want to chat about which specific vitamins I take and why, feel free to send me an email: Tracy@MyGastricBypassLife.com.

I am not a doctor or nutritionist, but I will do my best to answer any questions you have from my own experience and research.
