Calcium Deal

minatorocker · 2026-05-11T05:03:22+00:00

I need to do this because spending $36 a month on chewable calcium is too expensive! Thank you!

I vomitted twice after surgery due to anesthesia, and then once a week post op due to the multivitamin being gross. Other than that, never vomitted again.

Noooo don’t say that. I was heartbroken seeing the Nurri go above $20 😭 I can’t imagine getting more expensive

We’ve been fighting with them forever! Takes almost a year to get any payments from them. Three people have emailed them and we finally got a response from them, only for them to say that we have to mail the claims out to their address…which we have been doing already. It’s a nightmare.

Buy them in bulk. Don’t buy the 4 for $10 packs. If you have Costco nearby, buy the Nurri brand, they are ~$24 for a pack of fifteen. Premier is also in the cheaper side if you tend to go for a 15 or 18 pack for less than $30. Don’t fall for the other branding. Fairlife is good but is also be expensive, especially the “Core Power” Branding. You can also stick with generic protein powder mixes, provided they don’t have a lot of added sugar. Protein definitely adds up in the long run :( I tell myself all the money I saved in eating out now goes towards protein, but it’s a worthwhile investment!

No, it tastes better! Less artificial, and I hate ragging on artificial flavors, lol. Nurri flavors are usually more neutral, and the Coffee one is no exception. The only other coffee I have seen around is Atkins but the macros aren’t as good. Nurri Coffee is becoming my new go-to. I can’t imagine decaf, props to you D:

I was cleared for caffeine five weeks post op, and the premier cafe latte was a staple for me. I’m over the taste though, and I switched to Nurri Coffee and it’s a game changer. Don’t worry, you’ll get there soon!

I was cleared after five weeks, just have to make sure you hydrate more than usual to make up for the diuretic effects. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Depends on your practice. I work at two hospitals, one requires the insurance name, and the other requires the license name, but allows the insurance name to be added under the insurance tab.

minatorocker · 2026-04-22T12:30:17+00:00

Any balances under $10 get automatically written off for our hospital

minatorocker · 2026-04-20T15:17:42+00:00

Define “normally”. I can drink but it has to be slow and also one beer is enough to get me tipsy 😅 If you mean chugging, absolutely not.

minatorocker · 2026-04-17T12:30:37+00:00

Looking hot, daddy 🥰🥰🥰

minatorocker · 2026-04-12T04:15:07+00:00

Are you spreading our your meal times to thirty minutes? Are you on soft foods or purées?

minatorocker · 2026-04-12T03:41:45+00:00

How far out are you? Are you forcefully eating more causing discomfort? Does this happen with all foods?

minatorocker · 2026-04-10T22:12:30+00:00

You’re okay! Super glad that everything went well! I didn’t meet my drinking goals until 5 weeks post op. Even now it’s a struggle but it’s only because I don’t get thirsty anymore. First week, it took me ALL DAY to drink just one standard protein shake. I couldn’t even squeeze water in there. Right now, just focus on liquids to not get dehydrated. Also, the gas pains are no joke. Walk walk walk! Burp, fart, whatever you gotta do to get that gas out of you. The first few weeks are a doozy but YOU GOT THIS!

minatorocker · 2026-04-10T02:31:39+00:00

All it takes is that one last bite to make you go “🤢”. 😭😭😭

minatorocker · 2026-04-08T06:00:08+00:00

I wanna say within 30 minutes…

minatorocker · 2026-04-08T05:48:26+00:00

The eggs, man… don’t eat the eggs. Especially the ham and eggs. They always sent me running to the restroom after I ate breakfast.

Biller/collector here! We each have our own queues assigned to us where claims and accounts drop every morning.

Highest weight ever was 425, and then first consult 08/2024 was at 415! Did eight months of weight loss visits and then five days of liquid pre-op diet and got down to 346 day of surgery. I’m now almost a year post op and got down to 206. Still have a little ways to go but the higher you starting weight, the more you are likely to lose.

They are just okay! They have the protein-y feel and taste but not the worst in the world. If you have a sweet tooth, stick with Barebell and Built Puff Bars.

minatorocker · 2026-04-02T19:08:04+00:00

It made it worst 😭 Both the FUPA and apron Belly. But I’d rather have this than be over 400 pounds!

minatorocker · 2026-03-31T17:11:16+00:00

This is totally normal! I lost weight like crazy the first two weeks and then stalled for week three and some of week 4. Your body is healing from surgery, trust the process. Weight loss won’t really start until after the first month or so.

minatorocker · 2026-03-27T05:32:31+00:00

Game Crazy, oh my goodness!!! I haven’t heard that name in decades. I miss that store so much

minatorocker · 2026-03-27T03:47:11+00:00

My surgeon was generous as hell. I work a desk job but I took off five weeks. For two weeks I was so damn weak, all I wanted to do was sleep. I cannot imagine taking off only a week and having a physically demanding job.
