Vitamins!?

[breehuskins 18]

How soon did you start taking your Vitamins after surgery, I'm 6 days post op and the Dr told me Saturday before I left the hospital that I could wait a while to begin. They ate so huge and I don't think I'm supposed to take them at the same time.

I started immediately after my 1 week checkup, but I also went with the chewables from Bariatric Advantage. Made things much easier than trying to swallow pills.

I started immediately and I use powder:

I also take chewables, but surgeon changed me to Bariatric Fusion, has everything you need, but we as individuals, may need a tweak here and there i.e. extra Vitamin D, B, or in my case Biotin.< /p>

Chewables were an asset because I'm still in the liquid phase, so taking them was like a dessert to me.LOL

I began taking my Vitamins the day after I left the hospital. You may want to pick up a pill crusher and a pill splitter in the drug store. The large pills such as Calcium citrate, I had to crush and mix with drink in order to take them. The Vitamins need to be spaced throughout the day. I take my Calcium in the morning and early afternoon and the one that contains Iron (such as the chewable Flintstone's complete) at night.

since day 2 post-op I've been taking flintstones chewables along with Vitamins D3 and B-12. The B-12 you let dissolve on your tongue.
