1 week out questions

[smaseda72 0]

Hello- I'm actually on day 6. I am still in liquids (broth, shake, popsicles, yogurt- that's about it). Wondering when I should start checking progress on scale. I also am wondering about Vitamins. My surgeon told me to focus on the diet and start my Multivitamin. Can anyone share their Vitamin schedule with me-when are you taking Calcium, Biotin, d3, anything else?

Hi, I'm only a 11 days post op, I started my chewable Multivitamin with Iron at 1 week post op, and then I don't start taking my Calcium with Vitamin D till six weeks post op. I seems each doctor has it's on timeline. All my information was in my nutrition class.

Hello,

I'm almost 15 weeks post op. My doctor wanted me to start my Vitamins two weeks pre op so I did. Started taking Celebrate multivitamin with Iron and Celebrate Calcium with Vitamin D. Then the first week after surgery, my doctor told me not to worry about my Vitamins so much, just concentrate on my liquids and Protein. So I didn't resume my vitamins until about a week and a half after surgery.

I take my multi 3 X a day and my Calcium with D 2 X a day.

I'm just 3 days post-op and tomorrow I'm suppose to start on 4 chewable Bariatric Fusion Vitamins spaced throughout the day.

I started Vitamins on day 3. Multi-V, D, Calcium Citrate, & B12. Also a daily Prilosec to avaid acid reflux.

I don't understand why a Doctor would have anyone wait 6 weeks. I see my NUT soon... I'm going to ask that question.
