Vitamin question

For those who had a couple days in hospital post surgery did u start taking your vitamins there to see if u could handle it or did u start taking it at home? I'm curious because they told me not to bring any meds with me on surgery day . Thanks

My physicians team told me the same; do not bring in any of your meds. I started my Celebrate Complete Multivitamin after I got home. I was told not to take anything other supplements (Vitamin C, etc) until after I see my Dr for the 15 day post-surgery appointment.

Good luck!

No. :0/

I started my thyroid meds again and the Nexium on day 5; chewable vitamins and calcium on day 14 but they didn't stay down consistently. Vitamins stayed down when I started taking them with food after week 4.

They gave me vitamins there. The chewable kind...

They didn't give me any vitamins in the hospital. I was told the day that I got home I was to take 2 multivitamins daily. FYI - Centrum Chewable with iron...yuck!!!
