Vitamin/protein gummies when?



Recommended Posts

I was told to start taking Vitamins in the 2nd week post-op. There's no requirements about gummies or not, but I bought a whole bunch in anticipation of not being able to take larger pills post op. In actual fact I can take most pills, but I'm going to start with the gummies since they won't last that long here in Japan in the summer heat - so I might as well finish them now while it's cool.

I bought some Multivitamin gummies when I'd left my chewables at home a few weeks ago. I've had them a few times no problem and am 9 weeks post-op.

I was put on a Vitamin regimen just like the above poster on day ten. I also recently started taking Biotin in hopes of avoiding some of the expected Hair loss.

We have to start them the minute we get a surgical date.

Where does everyone get their vitamins/supplements from? I'm curious about ordering from Nutrion direct, $25/monthly with multivitamin, Iron, Calcium and B12 included, home delivered and automatically sends after you sign up. But sounds too good.

My nutritionist said gummies are not allowed because the body doesn't absorb the nutrients as well. She suggests chewable only. I use BariMelts. I order them from Amazon and they are tolerable. The Calcium and Biotin are actually very tasty, but I'm hoping to get cleared to switch to a pill at my 3 month post op.
