Frankie 0 Posted March 26, 2010 I am wondering when everyone started taking Vitamins postop? My doctor didn't say anything about it other than all pills needs to be crushed for at least a month. Did everyone crush their vitamins or is there a decent liquid Vitamin (I gagged on a liquid one I bought at my local hospital pharmacy and threw it out). Or did people not take them (I am paranoid and want to start taking them due to the upcoming hair loss). I have the chewable vitamins but don't know when I can start taking them since I have to be on liquids for 2.5 weeks post-op. Are there any vitamin lozenges? I had my surgery this Monday 3/22 in Mexico and I am feeling just fine. Not sure if I am drinking too fast - get kinda tight in the chest but nothing else. I walked 3 miles today. Thank you for any input you can provide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pnw218 14 Posted March 27, 2010 This guideline has suggestions for supplements immediately after surgery and beyond: http://www.cornellweightlosssurgery.org/pdf/dietary_guidelines_sleeve_gastrectomy.pdf It is from Cornell University. 1 Filosophia Scandinavia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frankie 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Thanks for your replies. I am just so afraid of putting anything in this sleeve before I should and then having problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lookinupin2010 0 Posted March 31, 2010 All of my chewable vitamins came from Bariatric Advantage, and like Pennie I have to wait 2 weeks. My preop kit had Calcium, B12, Iron and a multiple Vitamin to start taking 2 weeks after the surgery.:001_smile: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
