Crystal Light Saved My Life



Recommended Posts

Well not really lol but I have not been able to get my fluids in bc Water taste absolutely gross to me so today I finally got my crystal light and I'm sip sip sipping away!! My headache is gone and I feel sooooo much better...Oh and I have not been able to take all my Vitamins bc they are too big and are gross crushed so I finally got some Multivitamin chewables yay! Do you guys know any Calcium chewables that I can get from like a drug store or Vitamin stores?!

I am having the same problems with my Vitamins. I am 6 wks post op and still can't get the multi Vitamin powder down and the chewable Iron is gross. I am going to call my nut tomorrow and see if I can switch. I agree crystal light is a lifesaver' date=' its all I drink. I love the pink lemonade......[/quote']

my doc gave me some samples from Celebrate and they are all chewables and the taste is tolerable, I'm thinking of ordering from them but I just bought some Central multivitamin chewables and they taste so good it's like candy lol

Check with doc before taking gummies something about we can't absorb them. I am sure someone will ring in and say exactly why we aren't suppose to have them. My surgeon doesn't even start you on Calcium till your 3 months post op

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
