What vitamins are you guys taking post-op?

I'm currently awaiting to meet my surgeon to schedule my surgery. I've been taking b12 and b6 because its low.

Every Doctor is different so i was wondering what kind of Vitamins are you guys taking?

I want to start taking them because i don't want my Vitamin intake to be low when its time for surgery.

Thanks guys!

I'm taking calcium supplements, 2 multis a day, 1omeprazole, and a sublingual B12.

cool. I'm taking b12 sublingual too.

2 multi-vitamins, calcium chewables, b12 sublingual, b super complex, biotin

After my bloods were done I was told I only had to take a multi. Will see how it goes next time. I'm 8 weeks out.

Congrats!!! Dean, how do you feel?

In addition to those above I have been told to take iron, vitamin d3 and vitamin c to help iron absorbtion.

What's your Vitamin schedule like? I'm not sleeved yet, but trying to get in to habit of taking Vitamins thoughout the day. I'm taking a prenatal multi (it has all the same as the multi +biotin), D3 (2x a day), B12 (sublingual, 1000mcg per week for now -- maybe more after surgery?)

Currently...

Morning -- prenatal, D3, B12

Noon --

Night -- D3

After surgery...

Morning -- prenatal, D3, B12, calcium citrate

Noon -- Iron

Night -- D3

Does this seem right? My nut gave me a sheet with instructions for vitamins on my last visit with her. I read them when I got home, so it was too late to ask for guidance/clarification. I won't see her again until after surgery I think...

A friend said she had a hard time taking the calcium with all the other morning pills, but I'd prefer to just get them done if it works for me. I was thinking maybe calcium at noon, then iron with the D3 at night, but if D3 helps with the calcium absorption, should I not put them together? Ugh I have no idea what I'm doing!

My morning is

Iron

C

B complex

D3

Child multi with iron

B12 sublingal

lunch

2 calcium citrate

dinner

2 calcium citrate

Child multi with iron

I also take additional 2 stool softeners, benefiber and previcid as needed.

Morning I take one Celebrate MVI ( not chewable ), B 12 ( M-W-F ), two chewable calcium citrates, Pepcid.

Noon is MVI, and calcium.

Bedtime is MVI, calcium.
