Question:
Help complete my list of post op supplements?

I have sublingual B12, childrens chewables, protein drinks ready to go, hair/skin/nails with biotin and zinc to prevent post surgery hair loss, and tums with calcium...is there anything I am missing that I will need post op??    — Kristine P. (posted on April 29, 2002)

Ditch the Tums and make it calcium CITRATE, such as Citracal. Otherwise, looking good for a starter. If you get labs in 3 months, then you can tweak it down tighter. BUt Tums are for bloodwork (and to make kidney stones), cal citrate is what you use for bones.

You got it first hand from the pro (michelle vitalady). Don't bother with the tums. Many docs still recommend them because they just don't know any better. Get some Calcium Citrate like Michelle said. You will be glad that you did.

Hi there - I have an entire list of stuff my doc gave me - I have it all listed in my journal on my profile. Not sure if they all do the same thing but this is what he gave to me. Best of blessings to you ~ () : )
