Question:
Can all the CANADIAN ladies answer this for me?

Hey guys, I'm asking this specifically because I'll have a better chance at actually finding it where I live.....what vitamins or/and chewable multi-vitamins do you recommend, and where did you buy them? This would help me greatly because I have my surgery in 2 weeks and I haven't boughten any yet. Thanks a bunch! :)    — Jennifer M. (posted on January 24, 2002)

Sorry still a pre-op the only one I know of are children's chewables but you may want to check the OSSG Canada list. There is alot of info there if not email me I'm sure someone on one of my lists will have something. Good luck with your surgery if the wait has been anything like mine you have waited a looooooong time.

I am 8 weeks post op and here's what my doc (Dr Joffe in Toronto) recommends: 400 mg sublingual B12 daily (or a monthly shot) -- I take a 1000 mg sublingual every other day. 1200-1400 mg calcium citrate daily (I bought the Quest brand chewables, spearmint flavored, 300 mg each, I take 1.5 pills three times a day) 100 mg elemental iron daily (I bought Palafer brand at walmart) and a daily vitamin (I bought a huge bottle of chewable kids vitamins at walmart -- their brand, and I take 2 daily) If you have any questions, or would like more information on how to join the yahoo ossg-Canada group, feel free to email me.
