Sorry to hear your friends are not as supportive as one would hope. Remember you are doing this for you and nobody else. YEAH for you for making yourself a priority. I am having my surgery in 4 days. In regards to Vitamins by surgeon recommended the following.
My surgeon gives me the following options for Multivitamin. They are all chewable. He said they need to have 18 mg of Iron and 400 mcg folic acid per pill. No gummies!
Centrum Kids Complete (NOT silver label)
Flinstones complete
Equate (Walmart) Childrens Multi complete.
I also have to take 500 mcg of Vitamin B12 which can be can be pill form of chewable or liquid or dissolved and Calcium caltrate, which is usually pill form but can be dissolved in liquid.< /span>
In regards I can look to see the brands however he only has his patients on them for 2 weeks post op. My pre op diet is simply liquid with no Protein shakes for 3 days prior to surgery.
Every surgeon is different and I am sure yours will give you direction in the upcoming days GOOD LUCK!
