Anytime I hear complements helps boost someone's positivity it reminds me of: “Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.” Proverbs 16:34 💚Congratulations💚

It feels so good to feel good about oneself! Enjoy your awesomeness (and the attention it brings) 😎

I've gotten it when I drink too fast or drink something too hot or cold. My stomach especially seems to react when I drink really cold things.

I stocked up too. I wanted to be prepared, especially since I knew I shouldn't be lifting big cases of vitamin water or protein shakes and things of that nature post op. Overall, I was glad I was prepared. BUT... The only caution I will give to others pre-op who are reading this thread... be careful not to stock up too much! There were several things I had and liked pre-op that did NOT sit well with me post-op. For example: Chocolate Premier Protein Shakes and Premier Protein Water. I liked and drank them pre-op. I hated them post-op. I forced myself to finish the chocolate shakes, but I gave the protein water away. And that stuff is expensive! I also didn't like the bariatric soup mixes I bought and some of the goat cheese crackers Still have them, but they aren't getting used up. The protein oatmeals are way too much for me to eat, so I don't eat those. Luckily my daughter likes some of them. I bought WAY too much jello and Popsicles. Still have the jello, but the popsicles were taking up valuable freezer space so I threw them out. Oh... and I have an abundance of tuna/chicken packets which I will use, but I was using them much more in pre-op diet mode and I am sick of them now.

This is when I haven’t drunk too fast , it too soon after food . I think I’m a bit paranoid because I had ecoli in my urine and got really bad pains and then got bruised ribs from trying to be sick for hours and hours. The pain started to get better , but has come back ,tho not as bad .

Nothing to it. Piece of cake. You will be sound asleep and not know or remember a thing. Don’t even stress about it.

I was told to get the Flintstones with 18% Iron they are chewable and to also not take them along with the calcium citrate to take then 2 hours before or after the calcium citrate. cause they lose their absorption

Ok.Thank you!! She just told me a multivitamin to get used to taking them & needed 18mg of iron
