Diet And Vitamins

Ladies and Gentleman....Greetings and Salutations to one and all!!!

At my 1st appt. with the Nurse Practitioner they gave me a handbook outlining my 3 month education track before my surgery. Immediately I brought it home and began to read. After changing my eating habits I managed to drop 14 pounds in the last 2 weeks.

What I've NOT done was start on the Vitamin supplements. Calcium and Vitamin D....can I safely start those before my procedure or should I wait until my next appt. and ask them?????

Jeff

    I, too, started my vitamins. I wanted to see how I was able to tolerate them before...
