Vitamins and juice

[Rainydayz 27]

My surgery is June 30. I'm trying to figure out what to have on hand for when I get home. I know the nut. will tell me which Vitamins to get (the pharmacy next to the hospital sells them) but I bet I can get them cheaper by ordering online ahead of time. I just don't know what all I'm going to need. is there a list somewhere of what others are using?

Also, what kinds of juice (if any) are OK post-op? I know fruit juice is high-carb and not to drink it much, but I'm wondering if I can have V8 or some of the fruit/veggie juices to get in a little veggies while I'm on the liquid stage. I don't know if there are any juices I should stay away from for acid reasons or whatever. Any advice?

Umm, will someone please share their Vitamin regimen at least?

I just take 2 flintstone complete Vitamin chewable each day. As for juice, I don't really drink it anymore. I usually do sugar free koolaid or sugar free gaterade aftr the gym, and Water . Some people ( me included) say juice is fine just after surgery as you really aren't taking in much calories anyways, but others say if you need to change your habits, you may a well start now....... It a decision only you and/or your doctor can make. Good luck!

So you don't take any extra Iron or B12? I've been reading a lot where people take sublingual B12. And I have a tendancy to anemia so I'm wondering about extra iron.

I don't drink juice now so it's not like I have to change that habit. But I've heard so many people say it was hard to get in all their liquids and nutrition and I was wondering if using juice like V8 or something else would help with that right after surgery.

Sure, of course, I'll be asking the nut. all about this but my appointment is not until 6/22 and I would like to go ahead and get some Vitamins ordered. Just wondering about what other sleevers are taking. Thanks for the response! It certainly looks like you are doing well by your ticker. Congratulations! You're almost there!!

I was told only to drink fruit juice during the first two weeks post op, after that is has to much sugar in it. I love Sobe Lifewater and would drink that all the time if I could always have it i on hand.
