Blackjack! And it is only day 6!!

Hi Everyone, It has been 6 days since my surgery (R&Y) and I am down 21 lbs!!! I can hardly believe it! I asked my husband if they maybe removed something while they were in there...he said, "I didn't sign anything that said they could" LOL Considering I only want to lose about 100, I am well on my way!!! Anyway, I am feeling great and even doing my 10 minute walks twice a day (working up to 3 times a day...hopefully before the end of the month) Question: Does anyone know when I can start taking my multivitamens? Thank!!! -Charlotte

Check with your Dr. but I was taking my vits as soon as I got home. Congratulations on your loss!

Hooray, Charlotte!!! My doc did not have me taking vitamins until my post-surgical meeting with my nutritionist. Each is different, just ask yours!

Congratulations on your sucess and good health. Keep up the good work and let us know how you are doing. My nutritionist told me to start taking my multivitamins, calcium, and B12 when I get home after the hospital stay. They also need to be chewable, liquid, or sublingual versions until after 6 weeks then you start taking pill forms. But your situation may be a bit different than mine so make sure to check with your surgeon or nutritionist. I do know that the vitamins are VERY IMPORTANT, so please make sure you start taking them when you are supposed to. ~~Christal/dionysus_star
