Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 you know what you can start looking for , Vitimans......B12, ZINC, DAILY, I purchased one of those pill boxes from Walgreens and fill it every Sunday and take it to work with me and take my pills there...Since I live there..LOL...... I say buy the B12 now because cvs,walgreens, osco drugs always has the 50% off deal and you can save , they are like 6-7 dollars for the B12.........That stuff I would get ready so you are allset...... oh ya, VITIMAN E, for the scar.....you can use it later on. rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 Rose, Funny (well not really), but funny you mentioned the cereal and oatmeal thing. I don't have a problem, but a friend who is almost 4 years out still cannot eat cereal with milk, but dry works fine. She can't have oatmeal unless it's all soupy and tastes like shit....just sounds weird! Dawn PAM only my 2cents, I wouldnt buy lots of post op things because your tastes will change, things that you like now you may not like later. I have not been able to eat cereal or oatmeal yet and I'm 9months out, my body just doesnt like it. I want it but it throws it up. After I had my surgery, I had to learn to eat all over again, I'm just starting to understand my body on what it needs and what it can tolerate. buy little quanities of things to try and if they work great, then your all set. You will be amazed at the amount of foods that I need to throw away. only my 2cents, rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 DEAR LYSSA THAN WHAT DO I DO ABOUT VIT B12. I DO TAKE VIT B COMPLEX. I AM GOING TO SEE HOW MUCH B-12 IS IN THERE. RAYNA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 NWH suggests you take daily b12 sublingual pills or a monthly b12 shot. A deficiency is much harder to fix once present vs just taking it and keeping current. Deficiencies can take a few years to show up and once done they are hard to correct.
