What Week did You Start Vitamin?

We do have some stores of vitamins and minerals but I don't understand why some doctors think it's a good idea to use all that up before we start supplementing.  I personally prefer to prevent deficiencies, not wait until I'm deficient in something and then start supplementing. 

Of course, I also don't understand why so many docs disagree with the ASMBS guidelines, which are for the most part based in science.

I started on day 3 post op per my docs instructions. Best wishes on your journey :)

They have told me week 3. They say il have enough stored up and I can start them with my lumpy liquid stage.  

My surgeon, my bariatric coordinator and my nutritionist all said different things.  But I'm going with my surgeon, who said to start one week out.  I just had my surgery on Wednesday, so at the moment I'm just concnetrating on trying to get all the fluids...by a week later, I'm hoping I'll be at the point that I'm comfortable with vitamins.

I started them right away.  Big ones often got stuck, which might be why your doctor wants you to wait... but if they are chewable, stuck shouldn't be an issue.
