Question...what has been the hardest thing to deal with post op?



Recommended Posts

Hardest thing for me at 3.5 weeks post op is that my life revolves around food more than it ever has. Getting in 5 small meals a day takes substantial planning and constant attention to eating. Its annoying at times. Before surgery, i could just plan on finding something for three meals a day where ever I was at the time. Of course that contributed to the mess of my body. With that said, I would do it again in a heart beat. This has put me on the road to a happier, healthier life.

Source of Life liquid Gold (bought on Amazon) i what I used. Recommended by a pharmacist friend who is 87 and looks far healthier than me. He said it was all I needed. It has 100 mcg. Biotin, but I took additional Biotin for the hair (still lost hair). I have added I compared the ingredients to Bariatric Advantage Multivitamins I bought, and Source of Life had more Vitamins by far. Two teaspoons a day, and a 30 oz. bottle lasted about 3 months. I think you can look at the supplement facts online and compare.

I always took Source of Life Gold chewables before surgery....recommended by my mom years ago because she has a very sensitive stomach and multiple GI issues. They were a yummy "dessert" for me at bedtime. But after surgery, EVERYTHING tasted too sweet to me. I tried their liquid, but still too sweet. I ended up switching to Garden of Life Vitamin Code for Women because it comes in capsules, so there's nothing to taste. Very comparable to the Source of Life Gold and I prefer whole food based Vitamins.< /p>

      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.
