Cindee from Marla

[Guest guest]

I am just really tired, really frustrated, and ready for some support

rather than lectures. I can see now why many of the women who have

had post-op problems stay away.... I feel bad enough without being

told how bad I am! Cindee

Cindee: I have a couple ideas that may help you. Every morning I make a

Nector protein shake that is lemon tea. I add cold water to the shake and then

add liquid calcium and a crushed ADEK pill to it. I also have but don't use

now liquid Vitamin A that I got at Wild Oates Stores. One drop added to the

shake works and it does not change the taste. If you are at all interested

you could email me off line and I will give you the names and places I got

this stuff. I do it because I hate chewable tart tasting things. I assume

you could crush all your vitamins and put it in something tasty. If you can't

afford the protein drink you could do what I do in cold weather and that is

to add the calcium, ADEK and extra A to V-8 juice. I nuke it in the microwave

and it is warm and comforting. I also take a B-12 sublingual (under my

tongue) and it melts away. I assume you could dump a B complex capsule into

some

food and take it that way so you wouldn't have to swallow them as they are

huge. That would help with stress. My PCP made me start taking them 6 months

out from surgery and I think they have helped. I don't know what you would

do about your daily vitamin pill.

This is probably a little overwhelming with all the things going on in your

life: Bubba and your new health situation. Just know you are in safe hands

with Drs. K & Z. You have always talked so highly of Dr. Z. Funny thing is

the guy has handled all my innards and no one has ever introduced him to me.

I thought that was a little weird.

Take care and email if you need me.
