Taking vitamins while on Optifast
I'm doing the Optifast/medical program and we were told not to take vitamins unless specifically prescribed by our Doctor while on the Optifast. However, we're on it for a long time (I'm in week 13 now) and not having surgery afterwards.

Started Optifast on April 21, 2017 at 248lbs through the Ontario Bariatric Network medical program.
I think it's a centre by centre basis. I had my orientation today and I asked this. I was told you still take all your pills/vitamins on optifast.
