just a bit about what I take for vitamin needs ect..

Dec 16, 2011

I know my last post I listed a few things I got ahead of time to prepare for the changes in diet.
I realized that I did not list things regarding the vitamins and that aspect. So, everyone will be a bit different on doses and kinds of vitamins and your doctor, nurse, or your dietician will go over your individual needs. Some of the basic ones are the vitamins D3, B12, and Multi-Vitamin. I personally take a Multi-Vitamin with iron, B12, D3, Calcium/Magnesium, C, Cinnamon, and Biotin. For me, I started taking these vitamins prior to surgery. I was given a high dose prescription of either B12 or D3 prior to surgery (I do not remember wich one it was). But again your doctor will let you know and see to it that you get the prescriptions that you will need. Prior to surgery I had to go on a 1000 cal diet right before the surgery, this helps to shrink what is needed.... (I believe the liver but I am not remembering exactly right at this moment... but your doctor or dietician will be talking about that with you).

Each individual may have other needs but this is how it is for me!
