Question?

[Melle 13]

Are we suppose to take Vitamins when we are on the pre-op or can we??

I never took Vitamins but being that I'm not eating food like I use to....I don't want to feel faint or weak!!

You can take only a Multivitamin I believe

I have always taken a Multi-Vitamin, and Calcium. they told me to continue during pre-op.

When in doubt, ask your bariatric team. For my pre-op liquid diet we weren't supposed to take our multivitamin anymore. That was more due to the Meal Replacement shakes from the hospital already having the Vitamins in them though I believe.

They should tell you when you see them before the pre op diet. I took my own multivitamin, and they had me stop and take theirs (much stronger, and lots more Vitamins than mine) plus an Iron supplement. Every doc will be different though.

I started my pre-op diet 2days ago I'm just noticing I'm feeling more tired then usual...so I was wondering if a multi-v would work it's the weekend and I can't call my doc!! Ill wait till Monday to find out if its ok!!

Thanks everyone!!!

I too am told to stop Vitamins during pre-op diet. Also no NSAIDS. Psych meds, thyroid meds and stuff are ok with my surgeon, but every doc is different.
