jerz 251 Posted June 30, 2013 So I'm 5 months post op. Always have had great oral care and had one cavity ever. Since surgery I'm not so good about taking certain Vitamins. I take my multis and prenatals religiously but slack on the Calcium and Iron, particularly the Calcium. So yesterday I was horrified when I was eating and broke a molar!! I feel like crying and the only person I can be mad at is myself! So please take your Vitamins friends! HW:358 DOS:338 CW:275 SD:1/28/13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doingthisforme 36 Posted June 30, 2013 I just posted a question on this. I'm scheduled for july 10. Taking a multi Vitamin. But with so many I'm overwhelmed if what I'm taking is correct 1 marymcg62 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marymcg62 23 Posted July 1, 2013 Just take a good brand of a Multi-Vitamin, the tablets are big so I have to break them in half , my Dr also has me taking Vitamin B-12 sub lingual & calcium citrate (again it's a large tablet ) but I didn't start taking Vitamins till after my surgery.they made me so sick I stopped taking everything. When I went for my last post op visit, he stressed upon me how important it is to take them ,so I'm starting with the B-12 & have to get blood work in 6wks. But it seems like everyone's Dr's are different, so check with them or the nutritionist. Peace, Mary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just forget to take it or better yet I was more focused on my Iron. The 2 prenatals 2 multi and 2 Iron daily and I can't take calcium with it do it was hard to try and squeeze it in so I just slacked off.

Pr1ncessJulee 116 Posted July 2, 2013 My doc has me on 4 tums per day for calcuim. I love them...they taste like candy. I'm also on 2 Centrum chewable....i hate these. They taste like sour orange things. I'm also suppose to be on sublingual B-12. I just haven't gotten it yet. I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow. I have a hard time remembering my Vitamins but never skip a day.

DiminishingDawn 50 Posted July 2, 2013 Please don't take tums!!! My surgeon told me the same thing and I ended up with osteopenia. It's well documented that we don't have enough stomach acid after rny to break down carbonate. We need citrate form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OleHippieGal 275 Posted July 2, 2013 Speaking of teeth I have noticed that I grit my teeth alot now. My MD said it was anxiety so we uped my celexa.
