My doctor recommends Flintstones chewables, and also 1200 mg of calcium, and suggests Tums for that. Haven't you received any direction from your doctor on this? hugs, Mo doin' the ALMOST 7 days and a wake up happy Mo dance

Nope, sorry haven't been told anything about vitamins. That's why I was asking. I'm currently taking centrum and calcium but they are chewable. I have my surgery tomorrow so I just wanted to have some things ready for me when I got home. Thanks, Christina

Two Flintstones chewables a day and two Citrical Calcium Citrate chewables per day...for now. I'll be adding B-12 if needed, and will probably need iron, too, since my iron immediately pre-op was a tad bit low. Your Doc really needs to advise you on HIS regime...dial up that phone tomorrow and ask him! Kimmer Queen of the Niners, Instigator to All Marchers, High Priestess of Giggles
