Prescribed metabolism booster?



Recommended Posts

I'm curious if anyone else was prescribed an orange powder that makes a fizzy drink when you dissolve it in Water? All it says on the packets of powder is "metabolic booster effervescent powder".

Maybe call or visit your pharmacist, or look it up on the internet. I've never heard of it, but that doesn't mean much! I'd be curious to hear what you find out.

You really shouldn't be drinking anything fizzy or effervescent after sleeve surgery. Things like alka-seltzer are usually on the "not ever again" list. Anything carbonated or with bubbles is generally not good for bariatric patients. I've heard others say that it may be okay if you let it sit for a long time until the bubbles dissipate. However, I wouldn't be one to take that chance. It's probably best if you get permission from your bariatrician or surgeon.

My surgeon is the one who prescribed it to me. It's not terribly fizzy. It's kind of like Airborne, it fizzes, then it dies down and you drink it.

yeah, gotta say "nope" to that one - if we could just take powders and pills to boost metabolism then you wouldn't have needed surgery in the first place. what's in it?

It might be something similar to a liquid Multivitamin? Berroca is what I am thinking of. Its a tablet you put in Water and it fizzes. I was told to use this until I could swallow a multivitamin - but to let the bubbles settle. I could be off base though!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
