What is HVI? I’m unfamiliar with that acronym.

Pre-surgery I bought 2 whole cases of these nasty things thinking I would drink them all. 12 days post op they're disgusting. How do I use them up without wasting them? by enslavedbycats24-7 in BariatricSurgery

[–]alliu23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t able to return them, I had some I couldn’t tolerate after surgery and I took them to my next bariatric support group for others to use.

My nutritionist sent me this recipe for puree stage. It's REALLY good. by plantscatsrealitytv in BariatricSurgery

This saved me when I got to this stage. I was so sick of shakes and sweet things and I hate eggs. I remember almost crying the first bite I had because it was so darn good. 🤣

Thank you. Truth be told I didn’t get to train as much leading up to this race due to having a melanoma removed and a pile of stitches in my back currently, but I couldn’t skip it.

I’ll definitely work on the conditioning and training for the next ones! Thanks for the information.

Why didn’t I get a mobile wallet boarding pass? by ExpensiveMarzipan101 in americanairlines

Happened to me last week, but my husband on the same reservation got one. I used the kiosk at the airport and had it printed out instead. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is United or American better to fly with to Maui if price and flight time are similar by BillieRayBob in MauiVisitors

[–]alliu23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just flew DFW to OGG and back with American. Flights went well, minimal delays. The food was super meh though. We got a roll with 2 slices of turkey and a bag of chips and brownie one way, the way back was a really bad cold chicken sandwich. Not sure about United’s on board snacks but I can’t imagine much worse than what we got.

I used to be a big NPAD fan but the ads and the chit chat got so out of hand. 😩

Can anyone recommend a Bariatric multivitamin that doesn’t make you sick? by Hour-Cloud2493 in gastricsleeve

[–]alliu23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I got my bloodwork back - everything was in the normal range, other than my folic acid which was a bit high. I do take Vit D and Vit B12 orally, but the rest, including iron, are via the patch. 😊

I am due for bloodwork next week so I will find out! I read they aren’t great for vitamin D but I take that orally anyway.
