newbie susie starting out.... help

I have them on prescription from my surgeon. I think you can by them OTC but not sure the brand names and such.:)
 
Susie,

You can take them with iron, just not at the same time. Same goes for the calcium with zinc. Just means you have to spread your tablets out through the day.

I had the zincasol and selenase but didn't get on with them. Got selenium and zinc otc instead. So I have -

Breakfast - Zoton, 2 x calcichew, Forceval
Lunch - Selenium, Zinc (zinc ones are chewable)
Dinner - iron (liquid)

No interactions that way :)

HTH

Shel

PS - if you buy selenium over the counter watch out for added vitamin A, as you will be getting all the A you need in your multi-vit, and too much can be bad for you.
 
went to appointment today. everythings a go for next thursday. my sister in law took the day off to be with me but i know my husband did to. she asked him if he was coming and he said if i wanted him to so i called him and said i was alittle high risk so i wanted him to be there (excuse?? i dont know) i also asked him if he still was gonna be around the week i come home from hospital and he said he gave up his week and told his job he would work, when i asked he said :i have to discuss it with sarah (the *****) i didnt like that a man with no balls. i still really love him but when he makes remarks like that that its him and her now its so painful to hear. my nurse said when i come home i am gonna be in alot of pain and feel very low and cannot use food for comfort and him leaving is even gonna really sink my spirits at an all time low so we shall see. she also told me to look into a lawyer alreadt (anyone know a good one) i dont know should i just give up now?? wel thats whats going on with me.

Susie don't give up. You can do this. You are a stong woman and you can handle all of this.

I think having him around in that first week would make things harder for you emotionally. Is there anyone else who can help out? What about your sister in law? You've got all of us here, we can help get you through the emotional times.

Lawyers can get expensive, you might be entitled to what used to be called legal aid (can never remember the new name) but to find one just use your local yellow pages and look for ones that state marital or family law. They should all offer a free initial consulation, so my suggestion would be to make a couple of appointments with ones that are easy for you to get to (or even ones who would consider coming to you?) and use your instinct. With my divorce I changed lawyers early on because I just didn't connect with the first one.

It would be a good idea to look into it now, as you need to protect yourself financially and protect your home etc.

At the end of the day Susie, you need to make a decision. If you truly feel that this timing is not right for you and that you need some time to come to terms with everything that is going on before the op, then you need to speak to the hospital about re-scheduling. You have to have your head in the right place post op and if you don't think you'll be able to manage that then talk to the nurse.

Huge hugs :hug99:
 
hi shel, i would never change my op date. that is the only thing ive been looking forward to this last week come hell or high water. the nurse agrees too i should really get it done now and it will pick me up after the first few weeks of adjustment and pain. she said as you , when the pounds start coming off i feel feel alot better have a new life and will not need the ******* ( her words not mine) all the amguish i have been going through this week is also a good thing because ive had not appetite and have lost 22 pounds so far for surgery. he is coming saturday to pick up some of his stuff. i was gonna say no and start something but i didnt as he will be there on my surgery date.thanks for listening shel

great :) I think you are going to handle all of this just fine, and come out a slimmer, happier, healthier woman at the end of this :)
 
yes i know there is support for me online, its just the evenings are lonely as there is no one to cook for, clean up, watch tv together.
thanks susie
 
Susie it's your time now hun, you need to think about yourself and your healing:DHope you get on ok, and it's a new start for you after the op :D
