It’s no secret I haven’t been around!
June was busy with a trip to Mexico, and heading off to my highly anticipated trip to Greece!
Before either of those trips, work got especially crazy with new staffing policies that resulted in my existing 12-hour shifts becoming 16-hour shits 2-3 times a week. It’s been rough.
I’ve been home for a couple of weeks, and slammed at work. I have been a little down in the dumps about how crazy work has made me feel, and feeling like I need to really get back down to business with my health and wellness.
I connected with BariLife at my very first Your Weight Matters Convention with the Obesity Action Coalition in 2013. What I loved most about this company was that these products were developed by a Bariatric Surgeon who saw holes in the available supplements for his patients. He created a line of his own, to ensure that they got what they needed as post-ops, and to sustain far after their journeys commenced. I am huge on supporting people who support others, and BariLife is the epitome of that concept.
I’d tried a few of their protein bars at a couple of conventions, and loved them!
Recently, BariLife was kind enough to send me some of their new Lemonade Multivitamin Powder to try, and it’s a came changer.
Most bariatric post-ops are all too familiar with the vitamin struggle. Some surgeries require mass amounts of vitamins every day for the rest of your life, others require a multivitamin and whatever you end up being deficient in as your body adjusts ( for me it was B-12 and Vitamin D). This multivitamin powder also meets all of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) Guidelines!
This lemonade multivitamin powder is unique in that not only is it formulated as the ideal multivitamin blend for a new post-op to use for the first 4-6 weeks of healing after surgery (and it even comes in unflavored or other flavor varieties), but it’s also something you can use as a more seasoned post-op such as myself!
I struggled a lot as a new post-op, because I am disgusted by any and all milk based products. The protein shake life was a tough one for me to adapt to! But since then, I’ve grown really used to the lifestyle and convenience of shaking up what my body needs and using every last drop. This product allows me to do that-and ensures that I get an extra 8 to 10 ounces of water in while I’m at it!
You can purchase BariLife Multivitamin Powder in travel-sized, one scoop packets, OR in 60-scoop tubs. These packets are going to make a great addition to my locker at work (for those days where my shift is extended and I know I won’t be home to my routine for awhile), and I’ll be needing a tub to have on the kitchen counter next to my blender, too!
But how does it taste, you’re wondering? I love that this powder mixes well, isn’t too chunky, and it’s true to claim-it tastes like lemonade! In addition to drinking it by itself, I can see it being a really good addition to some summer recipes…maybe a strawberry lemonade popsicle?!
Overall, I am really glad I had the opportunity to try this product! It’s a welcome addition to my routine, and such an easy way to get more vitamins and water into my body!
