What do I take for Iron supplements?

HELP I AM CONFUSED!!! WHICH SUPPLIMENT DO I TAKE??? I just had my Pre-op testing done and was told to take two Tums and one 325mg Ferrous Sulfate tablet daily for the rest of my life. Now I am reading here that the things I have been told to take aren't good for me. I told the nutricianist (sp) that I had heard that Tums wasn't the best for me and she seemed a little affended and said that a team of doctors and nutricianists (sp) came up with this list and they know what there doing, but most of you have been there already and have learned the hard way. I don't know what to do, my surgery is in 4 days and I need to know what to take.
