Hi yall, I'm one week post-op, but am having trouble with fluids and protein, not to mention vitamins. I talked to nutritionist today and she told me to stop vitamins for now, not even worry about protein, until I get hydration under control. She also suggested that I get vitamin patches to apply daily instead of orally taking them. Has anyone tried this?

I just ordered some online after struggling the last few weeks to choke down vitamins. I will let you know how it goes, but I am very excited about it!

Oh, and patchmd.com has 40% off right now with coupon code holidays2015 ????????

I have been using them since the first month-- I was having trouble with even the chewable vitamins. I my first labs at the end of this month-- I will update on them then!

I am 3 weeks post op and have been using the patches! I love how easy it is. I just have to supplement with Vitamin B1.

Having said that, I have not had my blood tests yet. I will know pretty soon whether it has been working!
