Hi girls does anyone know when you can start taking a multivitamin again after surgery and iron supplements.

I do get anaemic and I am feeling a bit weak and run down so wanted to know if anyone knew when you can start taking a multivitamin and things like iron tablets after surgery.

I would imagine it’s absolutely fine now, you could call the Mya line but I don’t see why it wouldn’t be ok.

I take wellwoman plus daily. They didn’t even mention that I’d have to stop before surgery.

I take 3 supplements everyday i stopped the day of my op and returned to taking them 7 days post op (mainly because one of mine is live cultures so no point taking it whilst on antibiotics) if your prone to anemia then you will probably know if your feeling like your iron levels have depleted but to be honest you should have your bloods taken before taking iron because if your not short of iron it wont do you any favours taking it when you probably allready have bloating and your bowel may still be returning to normal after the GA, nsaids and antibiotics xxx

Hi lovely @giraffequeen I have b12 folate deficiency anaemia and have to have injections every few months so also usually push my iron levels up too as I start feeling really out of breathe and my energy levels go down vastly. I didn’t want to resume vitamins etc until a while after surgery as I know you have to stop taking things prior to surgery so didn’t know how long you have to wait to resume taking them xxx
