Question:
1 week post-op and my doctor wants me to start vitamins

My doctor wants me to start taking my vitamins and I was wondering if one pouch of Real Meals (60g protein) and a daily Bariatric Chewable Multi-vitamin will do. Do I need to take more? Thanks everyone!    — Kim W. (posted on June 23, 2003)

Hi Kim, My surgeon had my take 2 chewable flinstone vitamins a day to start out, so yu might want to try that good luck to you!

Mine suggests a B12 as well.

Didn't your surgeon tell you what vitamins to take? My surgeon has his patients take Flintstone Chewables with Iron until 10 weeks post-op and then we change to a good multi-vitamin. I actually take Spring Valley prenatals from WalMart - one twice a day. I also took the Flintstones twice daily. I am 19 months post-op and all my blood levels are excellent. My surgeon also recommends sublingual B12 once a week.

Yes, Patty, my surgeon told me what to take. Maybe I worded my question wrong. I am asking if Real Meals and a mulitvitamin would suffice. >^,,^<
