Update on Upping Vit D in Post op.

Footballs have liquid, usually oil, but not always. Cranberry are not oil, for example.

They work ok for many normies, bu****er soluble is superior for ANYONE, and can't ever go toxic.

And then GELCAPS are capsules, 2 pieces, powder inside.

Thank you for this info, I am also a preop and need to up my vit D dramatically.  Where did you get your vitamins?

I stopped at Walgreens and picked up Finest Nature brand D3 5000iu Softgels.

I took anywhere from 55,000 to 75,000 iu's every day, sometimes I would take about 15,000iu's in the morning and then 50,000iu's at night.
that was over a16 day period and my number shot up dramatically!!

Good luck!!

Thank you Katie, I will stop by Walgreen's as soon as I can.

Kinzi,

I don't know nothin' much but I know that with high doses of that D3 that comes in softgels that you can get toxic.

The best thing to do Pre-Op is to go ahead and start the high doses of DRY D3 that you can get from VitaLady.  You won't waste any because you can take the same thing as a POST Op.  You can't take those softgels as a Post Op.

Dry D3 is really better for everyone plus you don't have to worry about going toxic.  You can get your D up right quick with 100,000 or 150,000 units of DRY D a day.

Thank you Becky, I think I will look into the dry D3 because I don't want to get toxic.  I already take 2,000 IU of dry D3 most days, but I know I need a lot more.  I need to get used to taking more vitamins before my surgery, because it is a challenge for me that I need to overcome.

It is so much better to get your D way up now than it will be post op.  You can take 50,000 of DRY D3 three times a day for a while and test and then probably drop down based on your labs.

VitaLady's Dry D3 is just a small capsule.

Good for you, Katie!   You're going to come into this like Superwoman!
