Today is surgery day and I just saw where I was supposed to stop all Vitamins, it such a habit I took them through yesterday. I take vit. D, flintsones chewable and the Calcium citrate.

I thought we were supposed to keep taking them due to liquid only diet. Have I messed up and will they cancel because of this??

Thanks

I don't think so. I was just told to stop all medications a week before. They never mentioned vitamins. And I was able to one egg the day before surgery.

I wasn't mention to stop vitamins either. only medications. but I think you would be told to stop vitamins after surgery for a little while.

at least my surgeon stop me for a week and after that I started again.

I only had to stop certain medications and pills (ibuprofen, birth control). I took my vitamins up until the day before surgery. No problems!

Thank you, thank you!!! I was thinking about all the hard work I have done to get here and was frustrated that it might be cancelled. The Protein shakes have Vitamins in them, so I thought it would be okay. My surgery is at 12:40 today, I am so ready to get this done!

Thanks for all the support here! I will update as soon as I can!

I know the feeling of wanting to get it done. I was almost paranoid some strange fluke would end up stopping it. I even worried that the doctor would get sick and have to reschedule. Let all that go. Prayers for you. You will do great. I am 11 days out and already feeling so much better than I did before surgery. First few days are a little rough, but nothing you can't stand. Enjoy your pain meds and take them every 4 hours whether you feel like you need them or not for the first few days. You got this!

I was told to continue vitamins, and take my last dose right before I hit my "do not eat" window.

Good Luck!!
