[myTime2Shine* 4]

Ok so I’m 2 days out. I need to start drinking my chewable vitamins. Can I eat them already? Or shall I wait?? I’ve been worrying about it. Please let me know

What did your doc say? I'm not allowed to start my Vitamins until week 2 post op. I'm on day 12 right now.

Doctor didn’t tell me anything about Vitamins he just said everything liquid. I asked my discharge nurse and she said I could but I’m not taking her word for it.. I’m going to wait, I’m too scared to drink them.

check with your surgeon. If you are currently having Meal Replacement shakes they often have the necessary Vitamins included in them. Regular Protein Shakes won't though. Mine advised that if I am having at least 1 meal replacement shake a day I won't need to start adding any vitamins until 2 weeks post op when I start purees. Otherwise I'd guess they are ok once you are cleared to move from Clear Liquids to full liquids (but check first to be sure).

I'd check with the doctor, too, but I started taking pills (not chewable) Vitamins right after I got home. No issues that I recall with that.

With kaiser you take no Vitamins after surgery and when you do after a few weeks and have seen surgeon chewable only. I remember him telling me DO NOT swallow pills.
