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

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
