I was told not to start taking any Vitamins, liquid or otherwise, until I am on solid food by Dr. Aceves. Right now I am doing good to get the nexium, my BP, Effexor and BC down. I have liquid Centrum to take; however, have been waiting until my return to solid foods.

Other's thoughts on this?

Dr. M advised the same rule. No Vitamins until on solid food.< /span>

thank you for telling me now ii know to ask my doctor when i see him again. are sleeve rules the same as band rules because last time i saw him i was going for the band. thank god for this site otherwise i would be making a big mistake. i know with all my other operations you have to stop taking supplements at least 3 days to a week before surgery. did your doc tell you why you cannot take it until your on solids is it because it not really absorbed properly or does it hurt you in some way?

[ALISIA 1]

vegas.. i am on effexor as well how do you take it now? do you just crush it if it is not the XR? if so how do you make it bearable? that pill is the worst tasting pill i have ever crossed my path.

If it is not extended release can you break it up in tiny pieces vs. crushing into a powder?

[MacMadame 81]

It's not "sleeve vs. band", it's "doctor vs. doctor". :thumbup:

Some say to wait to start up the Vitamins and some say to start out with liquids and chewables.< /p>

I was on liquid Centrum and TUMS right way. I then moved to chewable Centrum and then regular. But I stayed on the TUMS too long and I think that contributed to my kidney stone. I was only supposed to be on it for 3 weeks and I was on them for at least 7!

Anyway, I can't imagine it would be bad to be on Vitamins early out, but I also think nothing horrible is going to happen to you if you miss a few weeks of vitamins and it is one less thing to think of and less pills to deal with.

You are supposed to stay with very little pills immediately pre-op though. So it would be better IMO to not take vitamins at all than to take big horse pills until you are on regular food. But that's just my opinion. I'm not a doctor or nurse or anything.

I had to have my doctor call in an RX for the generic effexor - venaflaxin - that can be cut (or crushed). The only thing I don't like about it is because it is not XR you have to remember to take one pill in the morning and one in the evening -- like if you are on 150 mg., then you take a 75 mg in the am and one in the pm.

I purchased a pill cutter/crusher and I cut my pill into little pieces and take it with yogurt. The only pill I can take without cutting it into small pieces is my BC pill and it is very very tiny. Everything else I have to cut and take with applesauce or yogurt to help it slide down and not taste so dang nasty.

DEFINITELY the tiny pieces vs. crushing into a powder -- that is absolutely disgusting and you can't cover it up in anything ... believe me, I tried!:thumbup:

I don't take any horse pill vitamins but I was never told not to take them post-op and did start back on my usual Vitamin routine about 2 weeks post-op... no problems.
