vitamins ?!

[ReadyNewM3 112]

Its ok if I use the Centrum Silver Multivitamin chewable to begin? My surgery is on 9/18 and I have 38 years....I ask because this Multivitamins are for people over 50 yrs....

I wouldn't recommend Centrum for anyone, your body does not absorb them, they have done studies and have found whole centrums in the sewer systems, I wouldn't even trust the chewables.< /p>

Centrum chewables were recommended in my class through Kaiser,

So, I need more advise please, my surgery is the next Wed 9/18, and I dont know what type of Vitamins or Protein Shakes are best. I need to buy this stuff in Walmart or GNC, both are near me....I really appreciate the help, thanks.

I suggest a multi Vitamin with minerals gummies and the shakes I use from Walmart are EAS advantEDGE.

My NUT said only flintstone complete chewables. She said that gummies if any kind have enough added sugars to possibly cause reaction.

What did your program or office suggest for you?

As far as Protein shakes go, I bought the starter pack off www.unjury.com. It came recommended from my program also. I do have pure Protein that I have now and I like it, but realize I may need the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury post op if my tastes change.

Hi, I was given a list by my Dr and this is what I was told. BTW I get all my Vitamins at costco. It's just cheaper and you get a lot more. calcium citrate w/500 mg of Calcium. Women's one a day multivitamin. B-12 2500mcg sublingual and I chose to take hair/skin/nails (5000mcg of Biotin),. I make sure I taken them with my Protein Shake or food.I will get sick if I don't.

I am 6 days out and want to start Biotin but I only have capsules. What form did u take and how early did u start them? I went to MX for my surgery and my instructions are limited. Thanks in advance.

No problem. I started taking my Vitamins in June. I take Natures Bounty hair, skin and nails. On the bottle is says take two capsules a day but, I only take one because they give me loose stools (sorry, I know TMI) and, I am running for my life to the bathroom, lol. There is a liquid form of Biotin. I don't know if that would be better for you. They sell them on Amazon.com, I have never checked for them at costco.

How are you feeling after your surgery? I hope everything went well.
