  1. I know this is off the subject but what website do you buy your IV supplies?
  2. I do buy my own supplies on a medical site online. I would never do that at work!! I'm able to start them in myself so there's no need for anyone to do it for me. Very convenient! What site do you buy you IV fluids?
  3. I meant two Flintstones once a day. I split them up sometimes . Also, wait two hours before taking your calcium supplements after the iron.
  4. The bariatric nurse recommended flintstones twice a day. They have iron in them. Calcium 1000mg and b12 three times a week. I just take it every day 1000 mcg plus biotin for the hair. It's shedding badly.
  5. I'm 3 months out and am losing quite a bit. What's so bad about it is I had just started getting thick hair and growing hair before the surgery. Now all my hard work is daily going down the drain. I'm taking 3000mcg of biotin sublingual and my vitamins . I don't know what to do.
  6. Hugs and kisses. Everything will work out in a positive way. Thanks for sharing. We are all here for you.
  7. You look awesome!!!!!
  8. You look so different and so pretty! Keep up the good work
  9. You look great! Enjoy your cruise and rock that swimsuit!
  10. You can try About time whey protein it is sweetened with stevia and metabolic reset by nature way. It has fiber and vitamins.
  11. Sobe uses stevia and also vitamin water zero
  12. Well, now, I'm in.
  13. Is it too late to join the challenge? I would like to join.
  14. Hi, I'm in Frisco area and if u need a ride I will pick you up. My friend left me without a ride two days before my surgery. I was able to get friends from work. They were great. As far as my friend well she is a friend- enemy. It really hurt. Again , if you need a ride let me know.
  15. I was told not to take collagen. How much do you take per day. I want the hair and nails benefits.
  16. I like the quest brownie bars and the coconut .
  17. Thanks for the info I'm off to eBay
  18. My favorite protein bar is Quest brownie for the protein and fiber. I also like the protein crunch.
  19. Try the Calcet calcium bites on the Celebration website. They come in lemon and chocolate and are very good. I received a sample before surgery and purchased after I was cleared to have them.
  20. I'm about 2.5 months out and I am always cold. Im sitting with a heated throw across my legs now. I have a heated mattress pad and it's always on...Love it
  21. Thanks, but how are you getting this much in ? Isnt it just 4 ounces at a time? If I drink more will I stretch my stomach? I must have zoned out when this subject was mentioned. Before surgery I was getting in 64 ounces. Thanks, again for answering so promptly,I really appreciate it.
  22. How much Water should I be drinking? I am getting in around32-40 ounces is this enough? I am about 2.5 months out
