Question about vitamins as a Post-Op??

[Guest guest]

Hi Marsha, I could have sworn Dr R said NO liquid vitamins due to

malabsorption. Janet

I have found two 'wonderful'

products that have a lipsoidal delivery

I am having surgery at the end of August, but I am wondering for

those post-ops out there, how the " new " stomachs handle receiving the

vitamins? It sounds like you start taking them, and other pills,

very soon after surgery. Since we're only suppose to have clear

liquid and broths for 4-8 weeks, how does the 'new' stomach handle

digesting these pills? Like a big 'Rock' sitting in it? Fortunately

I have found two 'wonderful' products that have a lipsoidal delivery

system (meaning they are in " liquid " form and provide the body with

the most bioavailable source of minerals and calcium on the market.

(If anyone's interested, let me know and I can get you more

information.)

However, some of the pills, vitamins and such, are in 'pill' form and

I was wondering how most of you were able to tolerate them the first

month or two, or even now?? Can anyone provide me some information on

that? Sometimes the pills have a hard time disolving in my " natural "

stomach now??

Thanks! Marsha
