You need to read that packet again and follow the info that is in there!

IT IS ALL THERE TYPED UP NICE AND NEAT FOR YOU!    

ST. VINCENT's gave that for you to follow and if you have any other burning questions you need to call them.

There is no easy way or short cut! You gotta work it with the rules and regulations they gave you.

You can do it that way if you want.  If you don't want it to take all day to get your vitamins, you can take a multi and a dose of calcium citrate at the same time.

I didn't see any B12?  Are you taking that?

OP and I went to the same center and before patients leave the hospital they give a b12 shot and an IV bag of thiamine. They told us these will last a month. So before the month is up patients have a post op appointment to go to and I am sure those get added in, my first post op is next week.

Ah, OK.  Yeah, most people do the B12 shots once a month.  Giving one before you leave the hospital is a great idea.  I wonder why more docs don't do that?

They didn't tell us this in our pre op class.so I  had already bought my b12 sublingual and thiamine. I am ready when the time comes! There is just so much to do when you get home it can be overwhelming so I was thankful I didn't have to worry about these two right away! My only problem I am having is when I sleep in on the weekends and that throws my schedule all off- I feel I need to stay up late to fit all my vitamins in or set an alarm after I fall asleep to take them! LOL!

That's why it's such a good idea to give a B12 shot in the hospital.  There is so much to do the first couple weeks, it would be nice to not have to worry about that.

I know people that take one dose of vitamins in the middle of the night when they get up to pee.  I usually don't get up for that during the night so that wouldn't work for me, but it works well for some people.

Me, too.  It never occurred to me before that they could do that, but it would make sense!
