Vitamins - When do you start?

My vitamins are to start when my full food diet starts - which is 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. How about everyone else? Do you start when you start full foods? Is yours pretty much the same? Or do you start sooner etc?

HI CHERILYN SWEETIE I WAS TAKING VITAMINS THE DAY AFTER SURGERY,I AM ON 2 CHILDRENS VITS A DAY 2 CALCIUM SUPPLMENTS A DAY AND I TAKE 2500 MCG. OF B-12 A WEEK,BUT SOME SURGEONS DIFFERENT TAKE CARE EBONY

I started my vitamins the day I came home. When I told my surgeon at my 3 week visit he said good. So I guess it was good. LOL If your surgeon, doctor which ever told you that then listen to him/her. A lot of the doctors do things differently. Shannon

mine started when i got home...except the flax seed it just started but was to have started at 2 weeks out....

I was told to start right after getting out of the hospital. I am on 2500mg B12, 2 chewable children multivitamin, 2 calcium suppliments Lisa

I lied...I started taking some of mine before surgery....I have brain farts big time...LOL

The first four weeks after surgery I was on pureed foods and 2 children's vitamins. Now that I am on normal food I take 1 adult multivitamin with iron, two tums with 750mg calcium and B-12 pills (on mon./wed./fri.). I also take reglan to keep my intestines moving and pepcid. Hope that helps! -KT

Hi Cherilyn! I started protein drinks and vitamins 1 week after surgery. I have to be on a clear liquid diet for 4 weeks (only 5 more days to go!) and then I move to the soft food stage. Julia
