All right folks.... I need help! Which of the following do I buy and in what quantity for a post op newbie? I want to learn from your experience! I am 63...
Protein, Vit D (1000, 1500 or 2000), Fish Oil (What form?), Calcium Citrate (1500 - how many times a day?), Multiple Vitamin (3 day), Folic Acid (400 mg), B12 (1000 - 2 x week), Thiamin 100 mg (weekly), Biotin (how much?)

Your surgeon's office should have a list of doses to recomment for you. Mine recommended 3 chewable multivits/day, spread the doses out. 1500 mg of calcium citrate chewable (500 mg 3 times a day), vit B12 1000mcg injected each month or 500-1000mcg under the dongue daily. I also supplement with a dose of biotin 1000 mcg, daily for hair maintenance.
Do check with the surgeon's office for your surgeon's recommendations. They each vary a little.
