SOS- SUPPLEMENTS



Recommended Posts

I bought the Tespo, I originally used Patches, surgeon is making me buy his recommendation too and I still don’t know what the heck I actually want to do post op.

I need the easiest regimen. What is yours? Picture of products, how much you spend monthly, and the schedule you take them on..

Also have synthroid to add in too and I think that is what’s stressing me out because I’ll prob have to take that in the middle of the night considering that can’t be taken with any form of Iron or Calcium.

My surgeon recommends Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate or NutraMetrix Isotonix. I chose the NutraMetrix line, which I drink first thing in the morning. The drink consists of 8 ounces of Water, one capful of a Multivitamin and 3 capfuls of Calcium. I also take a generic B1 Vitamin 3 days a week.

I did ask about Tespo, but it wasn't approved simple because they didn't have enough personal evidence to support a recommendation. It is worth noting that my surgeon is extremely conservative (e.g., Clear Liquids for a week after surgery, etc).

What’s your schedule with the 3 of calcium? Since it needs to be spread out by 500 at a time and not with the multi?

With Isotonix, you can take them all at once, and together. That is the beauty of it.

LOL, yes, it is unusual. This is where I just trust my surgeon, PLUS he tests regularly.

      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.
