I am sticking with Vitalady for the most part because she has made her self an expert on what we need and has found some of the best products at good prices I believe. She will tell you too that the surgeons really know enough about our nutritional needs, nor do the nutritionists, which I learned. She can answer many of your questions too and is willing to help you. I like that some of hers are very small also. It makes it easier to take mass quantities.

I was overwhelmed at the volume of them and wasn't sure I believed we could possibily need that much at first. But I have worked on it diligently getting myself up to par according to her recommendations, after not even being able to swallow them the first few months. I get my 2nd set of labs this coming week. My 6 month labs werent bad at all. I know we have some stores built up pre-op but I didn't take any preop.

The main thing is to watch the labs and adjust as needed.There are some here who will give you some help with your labs too.

Just had my surgery one week ago today. Dr has said no vits right away. I will do my research on vitalady, but isnt it the doctor who will tell us exactly what we need? Why would we ever stray or add to his recommendations?

IMHO, a surgeon is a surgeon and that's his area of expertise. Most surgeons have little or no education in nutrition and supplementation. We have to be our own advocates in those areas.
