Vitamins

So, from now on I have to take vitamins religiously. Every day. We have been told to start 6-8 weeks pre OP, so I am already getting into the routine. What we have been told, and what our body might need are two different things, so I may have to adjust after the operation. Time will tell. 

I'm currently taking these things:

Supradyn Forte Complex, from Netherlands. They are affordable and they have more vitamins than the ones from Germany... really weird, but there you have it.

The Supradyn I take as a soluble, in about 200ml of water. This is to be taken before lunch, after breakkie. 

----------------------------------

Tetesept Calcium 1200 + D3.  

These are chews, and I take them in the afternoon, so that they don't interfere with the iron and other stuff in the Supradyn. It is a bit higher concentration of Calcium than the ones they recommended, which has 1000mg. But I am still waiting for the delivery of the ones from FitForMe, so I got these as an emergency solution. The ones I am getting have Calcium citrate, which is supposedly better.

-------------------------------

Oleovit D3 drops, that I have to take under the tongue.

Since I had a vitamin D deficiency I have been taking these under the tongue for a while already. They really want us to have all vitamin values up and our cupboards filled before the operation.
