How to take vitamins after surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm one week post-op and can't swallow pills yet.

I found multi-vitamins in powder form at GNC but pricy so went with the chewables; also chewable Calcium. Have most others in liquid form. Was told to start taking them pre-op and to continue immediately after surgery. They gave me a schedule for when and how much.

I was started on my chewables day two post-op.

I have been using opurity bariatric optimized Vitamins. I am 4 months out from my Gastric Bypass surgery and my dietitian was surprised how well all my Vitamin levels were on my last bloodwork. Many people require B-12 shots, but opurity's vitamin B-12 with folic acid sublingual (under the tongue), I have avoided the shots. I couldn't be happier!
