I'm 12 weeks post op and I take 1 prescription iron pill every other day. I also take a prescription pre-natal vitamin every other day. That's it.

I would check with your doctor as to what he or she wants you to be taking, especially what kind of calcium. There is a hotly contested debate regarding the calcium issue... I take CitraCal - which is Calcium citrate... which is what most post ops take... as it absorbs better then all the others... and I dont want to take a chance 20 years down the road with brittle bones.. somewhere online I found a chart that showed absorption rates of the different calciums... Calcium Citrate and Calcium Fumarate were the best.... Fumarate is what is found in some Crystal Light drink mixes..... I take a generic Costco brand children's chewable... and Biotin... along with a B-Complex...
