What kind of vitamins and how much have you been told to take - pre-op / post-op?

    I was told to take:

    Calcium (citrate) with vitamin D, 1500 mg
    Multivitamin, 2 chewables twice a day for the first month and then 1 chewable twice a day after that
    Iron, prescribed by my doctor
    B12 sublingual, 500 mg OR one B12 injection per month

    On top of that I have heard some peeps on this forum talk about GNC's Be Beautiful which is supposed to help with hair, skin, and nails.

    I've started taking the calcium, multivitamin, and Be Beautiful.

    I take a muti and iron and zinc. And calcium citrate chews. I take vitamin E and I'm going to take biotin for hair and I have to get the b-12. My doctors haven't said anything about the b-12 yet but I see everyone on here takes it.

    Zinc and E sound good. I'll have to look into those.
