Vitamins

Does anyone know when the vitamins will "kick in" and start making me feel a little better or energized? My patch just came in today.

When was your surgery? It takes a few weeks for your body to recover -- just like it does from any surgery. I think it was at least 4 weeks for me -- and I recovered very quickly. It takes much longer for some people

April 18! But I just got my vitamins in, and was supposed to start taking them on day 11 post op.

I took my vitamins religiously and I felt like utter crap for the first... 6 months or so. Now I'm almost 9 months out and I feel great. This is a huge, major abdominal surgery you've just been through. Your body is going to take its sweet time healing and perking back up. It takes about a year to fully heal inside, anyway. Hope you feel better soon! Take care.
