SOS- SUPPLEMENTS



Recommended Posts

I bought the Tespo, I originally used Patches, surgeon is making me buy his recommendation too and I still don’t know what the heck I actually want to do post op.

I need the easiest regimen. What is yours? Picture of products, how much you spend monthly, and the schedule you take them on..

Also have synthroid to add in too and I think that is what’s stressing me out because I’ll prob have to take that in the middle of the night considering that can’t be taken with any form of Iron or Calcium.

My surgeon recommends Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate or NutraMetrix Isotonix. I chose the NutraMetrix line, which I drink first thing in the morning. The drink consists of 8 ounces of Water, one capful of a Multivitamin and 3 capfuls of Calcium. I also take a generic B1 Vitamin 3 days a week.

I did ask about Tespo, but it wasn't approved simple because they didn't have enough personal evidence to support a recommendation. It is worth noting that my surgeon is extremely conservative (e.g., Clear Liquids for a week after surgery, etc).

What’s your schedule with the 3 of calcium? Since it needs to be spread out by 500 at a time and not with the multi?

With Isotonix, you can take them all at once, and together. That is the beauty of it.

LOL, yes, it is unusual. This is where I just trust my surgeon, PLUS he tests regularly.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
