Pre-Op meds and herbal supplements

My question is this......if I can't take vitamin E, does that mean I should not take my multi vitamin since it has some E in it?
Also, I see Garlic on the list of supplements to avoid.....does this mean I should not be cooking with garlic either or is it just garlic pills?
THANKS!

As for the vitamin E, my doc was fine with the mutlivitamin with E in it, he said it isn't that much.
I took mine up till the day of surgery and even the day after surgery and continued daily after that. No problems with bleeding for me.

I stopped taking my multi that had E in it. I am kinda anal, so here is a list of the vitamins I was taking pre 3 weeks surgery and 6 weeks after: I ended up not taking the extra pills in the last column, since there was plenty in the Pro-Care. Also this chart shows the pro-care with 3 servings, I was taking about 2.5 servings. Because you are taking Pro-Care you can stop your multi. Just compare this chart to your current daily and see if you will be getting enough.
Hope this helps. Oh yeah, I never stopped garlic intake through food. I actually eat quite a bit.

on 6/10/09 12:14 am - West Central FL☼RIDA , FL WOW Kelli, you sure did your research. Thanks for sharing!  I stopped taking everything 2 weeks pre op - my surgeon didn't want me on anything at all. He said I had minimal bleeding during surgery and everything went beautifully. I don't just have issues, I have subscriptions! I'm saving on the newsstand price....... (deactivated member)
on 6/10/09 12:16 am - West Central FL☼RIDA , FL Hi Mama, Thanks for sharing. Got to know you had minimal bleeding. Also, so glad you had great results with your recent surgery. Gives me hope for my upcoming procedures. BigCityGirl
on 6/10/09 1:24 am - San Diego, CA I'm kinda the queen of surgery around here and I've always taken my regular vitamins on surgery day: Centrum multi, Calcium citrate and B-Complex - with my surgeons' permission.
