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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
