My insurance just approved my surgery. I am scheduled for next Wednesday 2/8 as it was tentatively scheduled at my first consult in September.

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

Started my liquid diet this morning... any tips? lol

Should i start a special vitamin now? what vitamins do you reccomend for after?

I have to tell my job obviously so i'm waiting to hear back from the surgeon but my plan is to go on disability a week or two and then work from home 4 weeks (i commute from NJ to manhattan so dont want to deal wiht that in winter)

Congrats!

Congrats! It’s an exciting journey. I used celebrate vitamins per my surgeons suggestion but they caused me extreme nausea so I just take a regular gummy vitamin twice daily along with a b complex vitamin and vitamin d supplement. You’ll find what works for you! Main thing is you want to follow all of your surgeons guidelines.

I was reading that it’s best not to do gummies at first so i wasn’t sure. Did you take anything before? Regular vitamin?

I did the celebrate chewable for the first month after surgery until the nausea was effecting my work. So then I switched to the gummy vitamin and got the okay from my dietitian. Some people do the flint stone chewable and that was okayed from my dietitian as well.

CONGRATS. Celebrate Multi Complete Chewables & Celebrate Calcium Soft Chews have been essential for me!

Congratulations on your surgery date. ? Check with your surgeon about what vitamins to take. You have your own needs (which your blood test should show) & your surgeon will have recommendations of what others you should take & what formulation you should take them in - chews, capsules, patches, …
