I'm not feeling it JKG.

I happen to really enjoy reading anything posted by JDK. It is very informative and I learn something every time.

hmmm, maybe I should've left the post up about sugarless living on your other thread there Fiddleman.

Hahaha, I saw that I started another rant at me after exercising my right to say, " I fart at Cookies " calling them " death bisquits ",

Well although that's true it seemed to be that it might had blown up in my face given some time on forum so I blank'd blanked it off, like my a long ago aguement over cigarettes and McDonald's food did blow up in my face once,

What the hay I can't sit here and not say some things, ya only live once, so, farting at Cookies and sugar and smoking some buts equals out to some one leveling a playing field when probably eating them and staying smokeless counts most for others, Go figure, I'd rather say I did not both yet, may and may not be true any how.

the humor is no prob Curvy, no worries.

adding: sorry to steal the room in post, should be about Vites, oops.

What worked for me was taking some at each meal/snack. I would take some when I first started eating and 15 after I stopped. Your body is still digesting but has some room. Just remember not to take Calcium and Iron at the same time. I was able to cut back at one year. I only have to take 1 multi a day, B12 once or twice a week and no B-1 because I am getting enough from the healthy food choices I make! = )

Here is my huge assortment of Vitamins and minerals I take every morning when I get up. Lol.

post-220150-13813139422462_thumb.jpg

Impressive, huh?

32 oz pink lemonade with Miralax

10 oz of tonic alchemy green drink

10 oz chia seed shake drink (sans Protein powder)

GNC extreme athlete Vitamin pak (6 pills)

2 Omega 3 in morning and another 2 at night (4 g total). Alternatively, I take 3-6 g of super Omega 3 (molecularly distilled)

1 Prilosec

1 B12 (small pill)

2 Citalopram ( hope to eliminate soon)

2 Calcium chew (2 also at lunch and 2 at dinner)

Used to take b 50 complex, but no longer. I do not take any Iron that is it in my GNC vita pak and do have to be careful because too much Iron triggers my gag reflex.

I am used to the routine and have a pretty good system down for taking these in the morning when I roll out of bed all the way to dinner time.

1. Chew the calcium chews (little treat for morning)

2. 32 oz Water (take all morning pills)

3. 10 oz green drink

4. Add Protein Powder to chia seed mix

5. Drink Protein Drink

6. Chew calcium chews at lunch

7. Take Omega 3 after workout in late afternoon.

8. Chew calcium chews an hour before dinner (to avoid iron conflict)

These steps usually take about 30 minutes.

Great insight. Was wondering where you purchase the tonic alchemy green drink. any links to that? I'd love to incorporate a green drink instead of juicing a bad of spinach a day :unsure:

Funny you should ask this. :) It so happens that it is sold out everywhere. JDK called Dragon Herbs and apparently they are having trouble sourcing the ingredients.

My typical online store of choice is Amazon.com. Love' date=' love, love Amazon for all my impulse buying needs. Lol! Fast delivery too! I need to buy a new green drink to hold me over until the Tonic Alchemy is available again. There is a green drink thread I started that contains a ton of suggestions from different folks. Go check that out and see if there is one that is suitable for you.

I think I will be going with one from Vitamin Shoppe that has been really good called Green Essence. It is their best selling green drink powder or so says the lady sales woman. I generally trust Vitamin Shoppe with my purchasing needs as they are always super knowledgable where GNC is sometimes lacking in that area.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
