That hurt a little- not gonna lie!

I just made my first super important purchase toward my DS...the vitamins!

I ordered through VitaLady, of course. For anyone who isn't familiar with her, she is a regular on Obesity Help and she is a constant support to anyone who has questions about their blood labs or vitamins in general. She is, herself, a weight loss patient and very successful. Vitalady is passionate about what she does and it's obvious. She never pushes sales or advertises for herself. She's so awesome that everyone advertises for her--like I'm doing now, lol.

I ordered a 3 month supply of all the vitamins I'll need to start with, as well as MULTIPLE protein shake samples. Honestly about $100 of my order was just samples. I am very super sensitive to the smell of protein powders and I am really worried how I'll tolerate them, so I ordered a whole bunch of different flavors and brands so that I can experiment and hopefully find some that I like enough to order tubs of. I will be posting review blogs for them as I try them.

I've been putting this order off for a while because it is expensive, and it hurt my wallet quite a bit today, but it is 100% necessary and is not in any way, shape, or form negotiable. Vitamins and supplements are going to be my new #1 priority post op, as well as healthy high protein foods. New shoes can wait, new clothes can wait (I'll out grow them too fast anyway), nights out can wait. Vitamins first!



I am really excited to get my order. I love getting stuff in the mail to begin with, but this is going to be super fun for me. I'm slightly OCD when it comes to organizing and compartmentalizing things. I already have my vitamin organizer which I SUPER love, and I really cannot wait to start sorting out my pills and setting up! A lot of people hate doing that, I seriously love it. It makes me feel accomplished, organized, and ready to go.



Okay so I just placed the order 10 minutes ago...I wonder if they've shipped it yet?!? I'd better go check! ;)

    Sounds like someone's off to a great start! And yeah, the up front vitamin cost hurts like hell but 100% worth it and needed. I had my mom in my corner who helped with it (ok so she took the brunt of it) as a surgery present. Ohh Go get yourself a blender bottle. TOTALLY awesome! I just grabbed my second one today. Thats the same organizer I'm getting I just need to wait until next month to grab it and you like I am who am crazy with organization am using zip lock baggies until then :)

    Thank you so much for all of your kind words. It really means a lot! Your almost there too!

    BTW I am super jealous about the ice cream maker lol. Thats my next buy. Make sure the blender bottle you get has the stainless steel whisk ball. The bottle I have is http://www.blenderbottle.com/ I have seen some knock offs and from my experience they don't do as good a job.

    If you think you feel better by buying the vitamins wait until they come in the mail. TOTALLY awesome!!!

    I'm off to bed. *HUGS* we're gonna rock our DS's!

    I know I'm going to have to invest in vitamins, but it's hard to pull the trigger. I'm so damn cheap. I'm going to have to shop around and find the best prices, but I'll probably just end up at Vita Lady's door. :)
