Hydration and vitamin bar ? 🤔

[Jessica1024 49]

Just thinking …. This is a local hydration Vitamin bar. Would anyone try this immediately Post op for wellness and recover just to get by the rough patch.< br /> It is medically supervised. Curious as too what everyone’s thoughts are who have been there and needed IV for dehydration after surgery. I will ask my surgeons thoughts when I go next.

I wouldn’t. My aunt did that and had some issues and was told it’s BECAUSE she wasn’t getting enough fluids with it. Now that she’s getting enough she swears by it that she feels better but immediately post op so many people struggle to get enough fluids that I would wait until drinking enough fluids at least and even still I would ask a doctor if it was really better than the Multivitamin as to not waste my money. Another note. If anyone IS dehydrated post surgery. Don’t wait until it’s so bad you need to go to the ER. My doctor arranged from me to get an IV as an outpatient and it was no big deal. I was so worried about it and was so glad she arranged it for me. I felt so much better afterwards.

Sleeved on 12/22/2021. I've done several IV's since my surgery. Love them but the place near me is way more expensive than yours and I can't afford to do them as much as I would like. I wish I had one of your places where I live. I always get the "Myers" with add on glutathione. It's your Triple Immunity RX.

Where i live there is a company that does Mobile IV hydration and you can add from a large list of Vitamins to it. They send out a Registered Nurse to your home to do it. Its expensive as you can see. I would have if i didnt have issues with needles lol. Even the hospital staff took over 20 minutes to find a vein on me. lol

Would you have used this the first week after surgery ? Do you think it’s worth it When only a few days post op

I just keep reading so many stories of people not being able to get in the fluids that first week and feeling horrible with brain fog dehydration weakness

Getting in my fluids has been a real struggle since surgery. Protein has been easy but fluids are hard lol.

I would ask the IV store. Mine helped me a lot and suggested I get the big hydration bag. I started the IV 1 or 2 weeks after surgery. I also did acupuncture for healing.

I was just thinking “in addition” . I was looking at the hydration bags and not so much the Vitamin injections right away. And Never in place of regular vitamin intake.

this article from Cedars-Sinai hospital in LA says there's little scientific evidence that these work. Sounds like a big profit maker for these places.
