    Camping?

    I’ve done them all lol. 1st thing first....don’t use your friends outhouse. Impossible to get the smell out of the ground lol. We ended up dumping a bunch of lye in the hole and my friends dad said we should just burn it down!!! If the campground has running water then no big deal, camp near...

    Home from Colorado, What's the Big Deal About Marijuana?

    I’ve never had edibles but smoking pot definitely does stuff for you . I’ve been told that edibles don’t produce near the high, so I’d guess not as effective period, plus with our altered innards that may play a part as well?

    Your D is dropping and was low to begin with. Like that around 100.

    Lactaid enzyme pills and diarrhea

    I gave up milk, and I used to drink at least 1/2 gallon a day. Just not worth the shits and gas. Been at least 2 years and don't miss it anymore. Cheese doesn't bother me, and I don't drink coffee so no creamer. Where else are you encountering all this dairy?

    Plastics and Dr Sauceda consultation

    I had arms, legs, and midsection done. It sucked LOL. Getting up and down was a process for awhile. But I still preferred it over have multiple separate surgeries

    Magnesium Glycinate vs Magnesium Citrate

    Glycinate is more bio available. Most of the DS FB pages have that listed as the best. KAL is popular brand.

    Magnesium Glycinate vs Magnesium Citrate

    Glycinate is better option I do believe. It is absorbed better than citrate

    Plateaus

    Most people have stops and starts. Just keep on keeping on. Get your fluids and protein in and it'll happen. Sometimes hunger is actually thirst, so you really need to concentrate on getting fluid in. How many oz are you getting daily? I was never hungry for many months. Just ate because I had...

    Centrum-type multivits don't dissolve fast enough. What to do?

    I didn’t see anyone say their vitamins were coming out whole or for that matter even that they saw chunks of vitamins.

    Vitamins and DS long term

    I’m 4yrs out and take about 30 daily. I also maintain loss stupid easy, of course I’m not super far out. I need 100k of D and 100k of A daily, that’s 6 right there plus 8 calcium. 3-4 total daily seems unreal to me. Is your doc running full labs and are you actually seeing the results?

    article on vitamin/mineral patches

    I was taking pills before I left the hospital. It was a process because you can't wolf down a handful LOL. In the beginning biggest thing is hydration honestly - choice between vitamins and water, choose water. Won't be long and you'll be downing them like a champ

    article on vitamin/mineral patches

    No. You need at least 50k with a D level that low. I take 100k daily. 5k will likely be totally insufficient. Don’t rely on doctors or nutritionists for vitamin info, they are typically clueless

    Enhanced Malabsorbtion and No Carbs

    For me I lose weight by eating. I eat every 2-3hrs and I've started drinking 2 protein shakes daily to try and gain more muscle. I'm honestly in pretty good shape but I'd like to gain maybe 10lbs of muscle. Its a whole new world with this surgery and I'm not sure I can bulk up. My youngest is a...
