Any August 2019 people out there?

  • Popular Post

So the reason I choose 8-2-19

Was because I'm an out doors kinda guy.. I love my fishing and taking dips in the lake.. my son turns 2 in April and I want to enjoy his day.. If I do it early I feel like I would get dehydrated with this central California heat and get to miss out on a lot of fishing and swimming with my little oneScreenshot_20190428-164016.jpeg20190331_142640.jpeg

When I was only getting 300-400 calories in, I was definitely very tired. I’m getting in 600-800 now and I have a lot more energy. Try adding another 100-200 calories. Mostly protein, some carbs and fat.

35 days post-op and still dealing with nausea/discomfort after drinking that is making it so I only get about 48oz of fluid per day. It's not a problem when I eat though. Also I'm only doing the multivitamin about every other day, which I know isn't ideal, but it makes me so nauseous.

Have you tried having your multivitamin in between your meal? I have to do that with my B12 but after I eat because I get nauseous but since I been doing that it has improved

I usually take them while eating breakfast, but I'll try eating a whole meal instead, waiting 20 minutes or so, and then taking them.

Let us know how it goes

I have a mandatory nutrition class today but I don't know what it's for. I already have the info for stage 3 (soft solids), but I've been eating pretty much anything (healthy) as long as its thoroughly chewed, and it's about 2-3 months too early for the stage 4 "maintenance" info. ?‍♂️

Hi,

I will also be testing this out. I never thought the vitamins would be so hard to take in :/

Mr. Sean, it's worth going to for validation and probably new information. [emoji2]

So does anyone still have gas pain? My surgery was August 14. I have pain in my mid-back, chest and side. I’m assuming it’s gas. Just thought it would be gone by now? This week was my first week back at work and I have been walking even more than normal. I take gas-x every single day.

Which vitamin are you taking? I'm taking the chewable celebrate vitamins and I eat it along with my breakfast everyday after breaking it up into 3-4 chunks. If I ate it all it once it was terrible to actually eat breakfast.

When I got home from work yesterday i gave my vitamin another shot. This time I didn't have it on an empty stomach. I ate some sauteed chicken and waited about 10 minutes then took the vitamin. I'm happy to say I didn't not get nauseous or throw up! Progress :)

That’s good . You must have been relieved . I have just been given anti biotics and was a bit nervous of taking them, but checked there was no sugar etc. so far after the first one , no side effects . I didn’t think to ask my doctor if it would be ok - like normal people would ! Hope you can keep taking your vitamins with no problems now .Keep us. posted ?

I'm taking the ProCare multivitamin plus iron chewable. I have an order of celebrate chewables and celebrate capsules coming soon. My doctor said I can switch to capsules in a few weeks.
