Did you start your vitamins immediately post-op?

These chewable Vitamins are really grossing me out and I'm not sure if I can take them right now while I'm still so fresh from surgery.

Did everyone immediately get on the Vitamin regimen, or did you wait a bit until things calmed down?

Thanks!

My doctor told me to bring them to the hospital. Mine are yummy though so I'm hoping I won't have any issues.

What kind are you taking that you'd call them yummy? I could use yummy ones. Mine are gross.

Mine literately taste like candy.

I have:

Celebrate Multivitamin in Grape, strawberry pineapple, and Mandarin Orange...taste like flinstone Vitamins without any weird powdery after taste.

Celebrate Calcium + 500 Cherry Tart which literately taste like a cherry sweet tart...YUM!

Celebrate Iron+C 30mg Grape, again pretty yummy with little to no aftertaste. I took a sip of Water after it and had a pleasant grape taste in my mouth

For the bi-lingual B-12 mine are just tiny so they dissolve in seconds. I got them from Trader Joes for like $6

I got Nature's Way Biotin 100mg lozenges and I actually had to debate with myself how many I could eat before I'd od on Biotin :P

They are all pretty good and in my opinion affordable.

I started mine my first day home.

I waited until after my first pre-op visit. I have Centrum flavor burst and they are delicious. I have to stop myself from munching on the whole bottle. My calcium citrate is from Bariatric Advantage and they're chocolate and carmel chews. Love them! My B12 is also one that dissolves under the tongue very quickly. I think they're cherry flavored. I need to check out the biotin and I may need the fish oil too soon. It took me trial and error to get here but I'm quite pleased with my regimen.

I was told not to start mine until my one week check up.

SOOOO That is when I started mine!

I was told start after your first post op appointment. Which is in 10 days.. so not sure everyone is different

I was told 2 weeks. Vitamins are very important though. I can always tell if I slack off for a few days.
