Post Op Question
I am fresh out of my lap rny and I have a few questions.
1. When did you start taking your full list of vitamins?
2. In the begining did you take a liquid Multi? Like Centrum?
(This is w3hat I purchased initially but I am leary to take it as it says 5g of carbs then 5g of sugar??)
3. When did you start the protein back up was it immidiatly after surgery?
4. If so what did you take?
Per my surg. orders I am on a liquid (see through it diet)
as of now. I am not hungry and am strugling to get all of my liquids in.
I am confused about the vitamins and the protein and don't want to screw anything up. I have y first post op appoint Tuesaday and I am sure this can wait I just don't want to start any bad habits or do any dammage to my new pouch..
Thanks for anyones help in advance!

Hey Venus! Congrats on your surgery! I hope your recovery is coming along well.
1. When did you start taking your full list of vitamins? Multi vitamin, B12, B1- 2 weeks post op; Calcium 5 weeks post op (per my surgeon's plan)
2. In the begining did you take a liquid Multi? Like Centrum? I started with Centrum chewables.
3. When did you start the protein back up was it immidiatly after surgery? My surgeon gave us a can of nasty protein that we HAD to use for the first couple of weeks. I used the small Dixie cups and sipped then all day long.
4. If so what did you take? I've now switched to either Muscle Milk or Pro-Cal powders.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
