Re: things we should not have post-op/things we should have?

[Guest guest]

Along that same thought line...does anyone have the those things

that we should be taking? I lead a small support group and would

like to combine ALL suggestions in one place. Like the 8 things we

should take...B12, dry E, protein, A, K, calcium citrate, can't

remember the rest. And how much of each? What kinds/brands are

best or acceptable? What formulations? Also, flaxseed, Syn-flex,

and anything else that you guys could suggest? I know that this

would be a blessing for me to have all in one place. Anyone already

done this? If so, can I get a copy of it? I would be very thankful

for any help.

When I came home from the hospital I was put back on the same

ones ...now I wonder could any of them be causing a problem. I have

read the pouch rules that are posted on another list but I am

curious now about specific foods and drugs that could irritate the

pouch, disrupt staple lines or expand the pouch.

have been drinking diet soda in the last 6 months because the

carbonation wasn't seeming to bother me.
