Post-op nutritional supplements question

[Guest guest]

Hello!

I'm in the process of getting things going for an open RNY - most like a

surgery date around October of this year. I understand that I will need to

take protein supplements, what other supplements will I need? Do most

people take these in liquid or chewable form? I know some of the

vitamins/pills I've taken are pretty good size and even now I have a hard

time getting them all down - I can only imagine it would be impossible after

surgery. I'm trying to get a better idea of how I will have to handle my

daily nutritional needs after surgery and everything I will need to take, in

addition to my food.

Thanks in advance!

I second this question! My surgery is on the 18th and I thought I was

getting prepared but then I was reading on www.vitalady.com all of

the other supplements.

What, how much, and when should we be taking the vitamin and mineral

supplements?

They don't operate on our esophagus, so the pills will be the same as they are

now. Correct ones will dissolve in the pouch, or should............... They

usually do not hang up in the stoma. UNLESS it has healed too tightly. Some

chew, some swallow. It's a matter of personal preference. I'm a swallower.
