Scared!

I had my ds surgery on Monday so I should be starting my vitamins tomorrow.  I'm scared to swallow them on such an empty stomach. I'm thinking it might make me sick? Having family come in for christmas tomorrow too.  So trying to do everything right so I won't get sick.  Advice?  My vitamins are bariatric ones from my dr. And they are not chewable.

thanks!

Worry about hydration first. And I went almost a month before getting any vitamins in.

I do think you need to change your surgeon tho...Dr. Stewart passed away back this summer.

 

Thanks that helps!  Dr. Stewart was my doctor.  I used his partner for my surgery.  He was great!

Maybe do homage to Dr. Stewart in your signature but list his partner as your surgeon?

Definitely agree with Southernlady. Start getting your 30 oz of fluids in. Worry about vitamins later on when your new tummy isn't so swollen and tender . Don't forget to walk too.

Agree with everyone above. In the first month, the only vitamins I took were A and D, which were liquid based. I put a drop on my finger and I was done. I got them from my surgeon, but I know they are available online. At over two years out, I always have food with my vites, or I get stomach pains.

I agree there is no hurry. If you are still leary of pills when you are ready you might try letting them dissolve in some water before taking them. I've seen several people say they try that when pills are a problem.
