Been sending out for samples...

...In an attempt to avoid spending money on something I may never use, I have been sending out requests for various protein sources, vitamins, iron, calcium, b12, etc.
Today I shall give my personal review of Celebrate Bariatric Supplements:
(This is what they sent me)
Now that I have tried them all I gotta say I'm not uber thrilled with the taste of any of these. That said, I very well may need to lower my expectations a bit. I've no idea what the range of good and bad begins or ends yet as these were my first supplements really. I'll break 'em down for ya...
The Mandarin Orange Multi Vitamin, almost pleasant.
The Grape Iron + C 30 mg Chewable, reminded me of Flintstones...with a little touch of fine grain sand?
The Wild Cherry ENS Multivitamin & Calcium Drink Mix, tasted like off brand fruit punch with a little powdered milk tossed in for extra tongue coating action...yeah.
The Lemon Calcet Bite, weird but not horrid. Has an odd skin around it that was extra chewy. Taste like a lemon...if a lemon were made out of chalk.
The Cherry Tart Calcium PLUS 500 chewable, the best at masking the chalkie thing, I could probably deal with this one. The Berries & Cream Calcium Plus 500 was too mellow on flavor.
The Forest Berry Multi-Complete, meh.
The Hot Cocoa Calcium Plus chewable, tastes pretty much like a mouth full of calcium sprinkled with unsweetened cocoa powder =)
Seems to be common for folks to have totally different taste buds post surgery...that would be nice. I'll keep looking. Feel free to leave a comment or send me a message if you've found some supplements you love. Please and thank you!

Chopped off all of my hair. It's ok - not crazy...

...already losing hair due to weight loss. I was expecting it after surgery but not this early on. Decided I didn't need clogged drains to deal with right after surgery so I broke out the clippers. I like it, kinda edgy and a tad punk rock. Sure is easy to take care of now. As my date gets closer I am more and more into stream lining my world as much as possible. Trying to get the house uber organized and clean so I can relax a bit when I get home.
Been making a lot of lists...what to buy for my pre and post diet, supplement lists, what I want to buy and pack for my hospital stay, etc.
