After surgery and starting to eat solid food did you get prescribed vitamins?.

My husband got prescribed Forceval and was told he has to take them forever. I must admit that it's taken some of the pressure off of me because I can concentrate on feeding  him high protein and high calorie food to keep  his weight up.

Getting him to eat enough can be a struggle and I don't know how I'd manage if I had to include enough fruit and veg. to keep him healthy. 

  • Hi. Yes I have been taking one forcival tablet each morning for nearly 3 years post op and will do so ad infinitum. My weight has been stable throughout this time and my health is good. Maybe it is needed maybe it isn't but I just do what the medics suggest. In my experience it is just best to get back to your normal diet asap without further concerns other than keeping the portions small. Hope all goes well for you both.
