Stupid question

Hi girls,
So I bought some multi vitamin tablets today and now I’m wondering if it’s okay to take them the run up to my op? Sounds silly I know but I’ve heard people say they had to stop herbal life ect and I just want to do everything right 🙂 xx

I’d probably ask your nurse because mine told me I couldn’t drink green tea 2 weeks before my op? Xx

I was told no to multivitamins by my nurse xx

I love green tea as well! That’s silly isn’t it, does anyone know why that is? Xx

Really green tea? I was drinking 2/3 cups a day before my op. No one mentioned that one to me xx

I drink green tea all the time, glad I know not to now! X

No vitamins or supplements at all for 2 weeks Pre op as faras I understand it! I take lots of stuff and was told to stop everything but the protein xxx

So protein is okay to have? I’m the same, always got multi vitamin tablets ect. Thanks hun xxx

Hi Amber! I think it’s because most multi-vitamins include supplemental vitamin E. Vitamin E can cause the blood to thin and that can cause problems during and after surgery ☺️ xx

That is so helpful, thank you! Defo skipping the vitamins till after my op xx
