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?????

No harm in starting now !!! Supplements are a good thing

Yes start them now!!!

Thanks gang!!!!!

Yes, you can start them now. I asked my nutritionist this same question. She said 100% of the daily recommended allowance is ok but don't take the amount recommended for AFTER weight loss (200%). I'm starting my vitamins before surgery too!

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