Vitamins, water, and protein powder



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I wanted to know what chewable vitamins you would recommend on the market today. Go with the Bariatric Advantage or is there a comperable brand on the local store shelf.

How do you keep track of your Water. Do I carry a "bottle" around or mark a chart or what? Does Mio help?

Finally, what Protein powders does everybody use?

Thanks for the info,

NJHAZMAT

As far as Vitamins my doc said the Centrum tummies were good. I track Water by a combination of the 36oz bottle I carry and use an an called fitbit that tracks calories as well as activity and Water. There are fitbit devices that you can buy that track steps and activity and such and sync up with the smart phone app but if you just want to use the app itself is free. You can also set your phone to send you reminders to drink.

I use the Mio and crystal light stuff, I like it. It makes things a little different but I also love water on its own.

A good Protein is unjury, you can find it online. I prefer to get the unflavored that way it's easier to add to stuff and not notice the flavor.

Good luck.

I carry a certain size bottle as well and use an app to record every time I refill it. Crystal light is good. I just bought the Mio fruit punch and thought it was awful so I dumped the bottle and went back to plain Water.< /p>

I found a great liquid Vitamin at Vitamin Shoppe, Max Effect.

Protein, I have been using Myofusion Elite. Low fat, low carb great taste:

As for Water, get a bottle, I use the tall Blender Bottle, and just keep it with you at all times and drink it. I have one at my desk and one at home. It is the only thing I drink and when it is empty I fill it immediately. I do not track my consumption, but I would guess that I drink 3-4 full bottles a day (tall Blender Bottle is 28 oz).

I use Mio - fruit punch does suck, but the orange-tangerine is great, so is the sweet tea, and the lemonade. Mixing them is also fun - sweet tea with lemonade, orange-lemonade. Crystal Lite also has some liquid Water enhancers. Peach Belini is delicious (drinking that right now), Pomtini is excellent as well.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
