I am 5 months in to the clinic pre surgery. I am having a hard time losing any amount of weight. Nurse, dietician are happy with what I am eating but not losing. I have been off work with a pulled hamstring for several weeks and not allowed to due any amount of walking or exercising. I waitress normally so I normally get 12000 to 20000 steps in day.
Do you mean you're 5 months post op or are you 5 months trying to lose 10% prior to surgery?
Those are definitely citrate. They are 7g of sugar per dose of calcium, though, which is pretty high for vitamins.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

My bad. Sorry. No need to be rude. I thought Viactiv was calcium citrate. Citeacal IS calcium citrate, I looked it up, don't know if it has a chewable though, they have gummies.
Hi everyone,
I am 5 months into my journey and have not really moved the scale. Looking for ideas to help me loose my 10%.
Please help with some ideas.
Viactive is calcium citrate. You can get those at Walgreens for sure.
um,sorry,but no,the first ingredient for both flavored ,per the Viactive website,is calcium carbonate.
It's common that the sweet is too much after surgery, it usually gets better.
Also try lactose free milk like Fairlife. That may help, too.

Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. ~Proverbs 19:20
I have changed the shakes from the ones i was taking before the surgery to the new ones after the surgery to a new one I bought today all used with skim milk. I still got very sick to the stomach to the point where i need to find something else non sweet. It seems to be related to sweetness. I had some chewable vitamins, made me sick, both sets and now the shakes, all sweet. ugg. Maybe it is sweet stuff my body cant tolerate anymore...?
have you tried a different shake? I had issues with really sweet shakes very early out, everything was too overpowering. Unjury sells a chicken soup flavored protein that it a little easier.
Are you using powdered protein or a premixed one. Before surgery I liked Premier Protein ready to drink, but couldn't handle it after surgery.
So far I like the taste of the Quest Protein powders. you can get single serving packs at GNC to try out their different flavors.
Also, if you're mixing your own, try with Almond milk instead of milk because we can become lactose intolerant after surgery.

Let me repost another way. How many proteon shakes do I have to suffer through each day?
