Question about taking Vitamins. Can’t call my surgeons office u til tomorrow and that’s when I am to start so wanted to get opinions off here.
I had gastric bypass on August 1, my surgeon told me to start the vitamins this up coming week. I purchased the Pro Carr One a Day from the office. Am I suppose to take Calcium as well?
I also was told from another person who had this surgery to start hair skin and nails. Does anyone take that just 12 post op?

Calcium is very important. I did my one a day multi Vitamin and 1500mg calcium daily. I eventually added in Biotin for hair and nails.

@Msdooloo ok I wasn’t sure if I was to start the Calcium right away I couldn’t remember and couldn’t find it in any of my paper work.

Yeah as long as the chewable Calcium. Good luck with your recovery!

That's the thing, we learn as we go and since everyone's surgery and recovery are a little different,we take all the wisdom and see how it fits in our own life.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
