So, are they selling supplements?

Yeah.

Personally, I think I am better off just following my program and using my highly experienced medical team as a resource. My NUT, PA, surgeon, and even my PCP and personal

trainer have given me plenty of information/advice for being healthy.

I don't need to spend even more money on supplements.

I am not trying to use it for additional weight loss or anything. When I took it pre sleeve, my hair grew like crazy and my energy levels were through the roof! It was pretty awesome! I have a follow up appt on Friday and I'm going to ask about it.

I LOVE my Thrive! I asked my nutritionist about it and she was happy to hear I was taking it and glad that it's in shake form. Vitamins in pill form make me sick, but my Thrive shakes are very agreeable with my tummy (I'm pre-surgery). And yes, it's really helped with my hair and it contains Probiotics which has kept me from having diverticulitis flair ups. I plan to continue Thrive after surgery because it's done so much good for me and my husband the last two years.

Are you taking your thrive during your previous op diet? I was worried about the caffeine. I am taking capsules ang more ingredients shake, but no Patches, was wanting to resume shakes at puree stage.

Yes, I am taking everything thru pre-op diet. As soon as I can start keeping down the shakes, I'll resume the Thrive as well. I'll be breaking open the pills and putting them in a shake to begin with, then whatever is puréed till I can take them regularly again. Just had this discussion with my bariatric nurse today. Start my pre-op liquids on Friday!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
