Supplements
This is what I take now that I can have tablets! It's much better for me than doing a chewable!
Once Daily Bariatric Multivitamin | 45mg Iron
This is the chewable multivitamin I took when I couldn't take tablets!
Procare Health Bariatric Multivitamins 45 Mg Iron
This is the calcium supplement I take! It's the best I've found so far. It's not chalky and it takes okay!
BariMelts Bariatric Calcium Citrate with Vit D3
My hormones were so out of balance after having my surgery and being 45 years old. I love Hertime because it's a natural product and has helped me feel human again! I feel more human than I ever have in a very long time and my cycles are more regular and less painful.
Hertime
I take this because why not! I've never really had an issue with my libido, but let me tell you what…….THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING! Let's just say it enhances what you already have, so if you think you are good this just makes it that much better! I highly recommend it to everyone!
Mixhers Herpleasure
I have a hard time getting in all my fruits and veggies and so do my kids! I love this product because not only can I take it, but so can my kids! It tastes great and isn't chalky at all!
Mixhers Hergreens
Staying hydrated is super important after having bariatric surgery. Sometimes you just need a little help and this is one of my favorites. It tastes amazing and I can mix it with any of the other Mixhers products.
Herhydration
I place one salt pellet on my tongue before I drink water, it helps take the water to the cellular level. It helps keep me hydrated!

Hair Growth
I've been using Nurafol for almsot 3 months and my hair is starting to get back to what it used to be. I have tons and tons of new hair growth!
Nutrafol Core for Women
This tool creates blood stimulation that helps hair growth. I use this every night before bed for about 2 minutes. I wrap a hair tie around the claws so it doesn't get stuck in my hair, or you can put it in a plastic sandwich bag.

Protein
I lived off these for a long time before and after my surgery! These are great for getting the recommended daily protein intake. It tastes just like chocolate milk!
Chocolate Nutrition Plan
I love this protein powder! It isn't chalky at all and it tastes amazing! I have only mixed it with water, but it still tastes amazing and has a good texture! My favorite flavor is chocolate peanut butter!

I used this protein powder for a long time. You will find out that you need to switch between a few because you get tired of the same stuff day after day!

Gut Help
This link is if you are already a doTerra member. This probiotic is the best one I've tried so far hands down. It's very important to take a probiotic after having bariatric surgery so you can make sure you absorb as much nutrition from the food as you can.
