My bypass surgery is next wed. I'm excited and nervous. I'm looking to go n buy my vitamins and sugar free items. Any suggestions on what is best for stage 1? Any advice is much welcomed!
 
Talk to your surgeon, his nurse and the dietician to see what their immediate post surgical vitamin requirements are.

My surgeon had me taking liquid Centrum twice a day for the first 2 weeks post surgical when I got home.

Starting the 3rd week after that I started taking a Proton Pump Inhibitor such as Dexliant once a day, bariatric chewable vitamins twice a day, chewable calcium twice a day, chewable elemental iron and potassium. After my 6 weeks Co q10 & fish oil to the others.

Check with your surgeon, nurse and nutritionist to make sure of their requirements.
 
Congratulations on your surgery and good luck. Will keep you in my prayers. Let us know how everything turned out.
