So can I get that all in one pill or I have to buy them separately?

Hey there!

In our "Next Stop" surgery- (mandatory meeting) this is what the nutritionist and surgical staff to us. Again, please check with your surgical team for clarity.

Stop Taking Before Surgery

8 wks before - All steroids

6 wks before - Fish Oil pills

6 wks before - Vitamin E

4 wks before - Hormone Pills

2 wks before - Asprin, Multivitamins, Pepto Bismal

* "Aspirin & Non Steroidal anti-Inflammatory (NSAIDs) - these medications cause a breakdown of the lining in the stomach and intestines. It may lead to ulcers, nausea, abdominal pain, & intestinal bleeding. Bypass patients can never take these the rest of their lives, while sleeve gastrectomy * band patients should avoid them for at least 1 yr. If it must be taken (Dr. Recommended), protect stomach & intestines with Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) like Protonix, Prilosec, etc.

*Do not take extended release meds" (quoted from my "Guide to Bariatric Surgery" big book given by the Bariatric Dept at the Hospital)

( I am on Protonix for acid reflux & they told me it was OK to take up to surgery but I will get more clarity on that...I know it was said at the meeting we are put on Protonix after surgery because of the acid reflux the sleeve could cause)

Afterwards - vitamins (Multi-vitamins / chewable no gummies), Calcium Citrate, B-12, Vitamin D

Bariatric friendly vitamins. **This is basic but your doctor may want you to include other things depending on your body

Hope this helps a little There is a whole lot of valuable info in the book I have especially concerning what to stop prior to surgery and the effects it could have on your body if you don't. I have my pre-op next week on the 10th and will start my liquid for 1 week then surgery on the 21st.

If anyone wants to message me feel free to do so
