Crystal Light Saved My Life



Recommended Posts

Well not really lol but I have not been able to get my fluids in bc Water taste absolutely gross to me so today I finally got my crystal light and I'm sip sip sipping away!! My headache is gone and I feel sooooo much better...Oh and I have not been able to take all my Vitamins bc they are too big and are gross crushed so I finally got some Multivitamin chewables yay! Do you guys know any Calcium chewables that I can get from like a drug store or Vitamin stores?!

I am having the same problems with my Vitamins. I am 6 wks post op and still can't get the multi Vitamin powder down and the chewable Iron is gross. I am going to call my nut tomorrow and see if I can switch. I agree crystal light is a lifesaver, its all I drink. I love the pink lemonade......

my doc gave me some samples from Celebrate and they are all chewables and the taste is tolerable, I'm thinking of ordering from them but I just bought some Central multivitamin chewables and they taste so good it's like candy lol

Check with doc before taking gummies something about we can't absorb them. I am sure someone will ring in and say exactly why we aren't suppose to have them. My surgeon doesn't even start you on Calcium till your 3 months post op

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
