Liquid Vitamins



Recommended Posts

I was given the Vitamist also. I like to use it after I finish my meals.

(a couple of sprays). I like the peppermint taste. It keeps me from

wanting to nibble a bit more. (sort of like brushing your teeth after meals!)

I am trying to decide between the VitaMist for Women or the Source of Life Liquid that Penni suggested. I like that Penni says the liquid gives her energy. I also like the mist idea though. How many times a day do you have to take it? Can you take it all at once? Can you buy it in any stores?

Opinions? THanks.

I have been taking a powder Vitamin that you add to liquid for a few months. It is called Reliv. It provides 7 grams of soy Protein too. The last time I ordered the Classic (which I don't like as well as the other stuff - the taste isn't as good). When I get back to where I order it from, I can give you the name if you are interested in it.

Heather, on the Vitamist, it says 8 sprays per day. I usually just carry it around

in my purse and spray when I think of it (2 or 3 sprays). You could do all 8 at

one time. It has a nice peppermint taste to it, not vitaminy at all.

I had to get rid of the rest of the Advant Edge Protein shakes because they had chromium in there, which gave me way too much energy (couldn't sleep and was all spun out.) I might like to try these liquid ones, but what is the source of the energy?

Oh my GOODNESS I'm SO HAPPY to hear that someone else has this problem!! I also cannot tolerate chromium. Remember when chromium piccolinate was THE diet supplement. That stuff made me INSANE. I have to be SUPER careful about any Vitamins or other supplements. Also have problems with most Protein Shakes. Can't tolerate caffeine...or ginsing...or kola nut....or most anything that is supposed to give energy. All the diet pills out there aren't just appetite suppression, they also all have some "boost" component that makes me NUTSO.

Wow, glad to hear of another like me!

Hey DeLarla, may I ask you a question? Since it seems like you are sensitive to over the counter stuff like I am, how did you handle the anesthesia in the surgery? I've never had any surgery at all and I'm a bit worried since I'm so oversensitive to medications.

So I bought and tried the Source of Life Liquid Vitamin. Today was my first dose and I have to say that I didn't really like the taste...actually I thought it was acidic and disgusting. Since I paid $25 for it, I will give it another go around tomorrow. We shall see. If it is as bad tomorrow, I think I will just stick with the Flintstone's.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
