My doctor told me I can start taking my Vitamins after my post op visit in one week. Right now he only wants me to take omeprazole and promethazine for heartburn and nausea 

My doctor had me start taking them before the surgery and continue them right though recovery. I take the gummies. If you check them well, they become liquid and go down pretty well.

Does anyone else get your Vitamins and B12 from Nutrition Direct? My insurance covers them all every 28 days so I don't pay nothing out of pocket

I just started ordering from them last week. I've been having an issue getting my order filled and shipped. I've called back and they apologize and say they've been having problems. Tuesday they said they would expedite the order and now its Thursday and I haven't even received the email with tracking. I really would like to use them but I need to have my vitamins timely.

They didn't send me an email as promised with the tracking number. I called the 800 # and they gave me the tracking info. I got my vitamins some time last week. It only took a week to deliver. You have to keep calling them which is crazy. I ordered them the 17th and they were shipped the 19th.

Hey Chrissy, how are you doing? I’m on 3 day post op and I’m a bit better than day one and 2. I can actually sip enough fluids so that I’ll be able to leave the hospital this evening.

Question for everyone that has had surgery recently, does drinking fluids get easier? It so difficult and what if I can’t get enough fluids in then I’ll have to come back to the hospital. I’m just worried and a little anxious

Started soft mushy food yesterday. I’m sure we’ve all heard the advice to eat off of a saucer, but yesterday I was told to use a baby spoon. I think it really made a difference. It helped me take smaller bites and eat slower.

Hi cateckert. It definitely gets easier. Just try to drink what you can. Sugar free Popsicles helped me a lot at first! I’m almost three weeks out and I can comfortably drink. Good luck and don’t stress to much! As long as you’re peeing that’s a good sign!

I am doing a lot better. I did have a little back pain last night. That's because I'm sleeping awkward. Trying to get all my fluids in early. I'm up to 20 ozs so far this morning. I had to drink 32 ozs before they would release me from the hospital yesterday. I don't feel hungry yet. Oh the nurse told me to eat sugar free popsicles they count as 2 ozs. Ask for some popsicles.

I'm making myself drink 6 to 8 ozs per hour. Every 15 minutes I drink 2 ozs. It has gotten easier since I've been home. I don't want to go back to the hospital. The Crystal light taste good and so does the Premier protein clear

Did you get the chewable ones? If so, how do they taste?

I did get the chewables. I haven't taken any yet my doctor said wait until Tuesday. That will be one week post op.

jflower Gummies Bad, most doctors will tell you, the HIGH SUGAR/Syrup content is a No-No, especially when you are cutting/deleting carbs!

Yes that's true also they say the vitamin content isn't as high as the pills or chewables
