So I'm 5 months post op. Always have had great oral care and had one cavity ever. Since surgery I'm not so good about taking certain Vitamins. I take my multis and prenatals religiously but slack on the Calcium and Iron, particularly the calcium. So yesterday I was horrified when I was eating and broke a molar!! I feel like crying and the only person I can be mad at is myself! So please take your vitamins friends!

I just posted a question on this. I'm scheduled for july 10. Taking a multi vitamin. But with so many I'm overwhelmed if what I'm taking is correct

Just take a good brand of a multi-vitamin, the tablets are big so I have to break them in half , my Dr also has me taking vitamin B-12 sub lingual & Calcium citrate (again it's a large tablet ) but I didn't start taking vitamins till after my surgery.they made me so sick I stopped taking everything. When I went for my last post op visit, he stressed upon me how important it is to take them ,so I'm starting with the B-12 & have to get blood work in 6wks. But it seems like everyone's Dr's are different, so check with them or the nutritionist.

Peace,

Mary

I got a calcium citrate in liquid for from Vitamax.com. Not bad tasting either.

Also the baby was/is taking calcium from me as well so I should've known better :-( dentist tomorrow boo!

I have tons of calcium here. RX and over the counter. I just forget to take it or better yet I was more focused on my Iron. The 2 prenatals 2 multi and 2 iron daily and I can't take calcium with it do it was hard to try and squeeze it in so I just slacked off.

Omg! I keep forgetting the calcium

My doc has me on 4 tums per day for calcuim. I love them...they taste like candy. I'm also on 2 centrum chewable....i hate these. They taste like sour orange things. I'm also suppose to be on sublingual B-12. I just haven't gotten it yet. I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow. I have a hard time remembering my vitamins but never skip a day.

Please don't take tums!!! My surgeon told me the same thing and I ended up with osteopenia.

It's well documented that we don't have enough stomach acid after rny to break down carbonate. We need citrate form.

Speaking of teeth I have noticed that I grit my teeth alot now. My MD said it was anxiety so we uped my celexa. She told me to cut back on my B12 cause it was high and my D3 . I only take my iron every other day. But take multi everyday and calcium.
