I just found BTV a few weeks ago and have been watching videos daily. I think I'm up to 52? Anyway, I am learning so much and ordered samples from Celebrate - especially after seeing the way Lynda was drooling over her vitamin bottle ...honestly I thought "yeah right, someone is paying them big bucks to say allll that goooooood stuff about Celebrate vitamins."
I received my samples today and the calcium lemon chews knocked my freaking socks off.
Let me just say in true Valley girl style
"oh my gawd!!"
It's so refreshing to find people who aren't prostituting their values and really care about the products they recommend AND to have a company who is willing to send samples because they believe in their product.
I'm freaking amazed!
My hubby tasted a little corner and he was even impressed!!
Thanks and peace
Binda

You'll love it.
I'm one of those "ooooh look at the teensy tiny packages" and flip for anything mini sized and I ooohed and ahhhed over the little packages.
The sublingual b-12 is good. The chocolate calcium I will try today (after I oooh and ahhhh over the package of course!)
I see your surgery is tomorrow - you excited?
I hope it goes super well for you!
Peace!
Binda

I am totally excited...but more "OKAY! LET'S GET THIS SH*T MOVING!" You spend so much time planning and thinking and planning some more that you just want to get it going!

I am a list maker, so there have been a plethora of lists floating around my house lately. Who to call after surgery, what I need to take to the hospital, what I need to have at the house, etc. For the hospital I have: my CPAP, my phone/ itouch and charger (so I can watch some BTV  ) some loose clothing, a sweater, slippers, my journal, and some books/magazines. For home, I have my clear proteins (ISOPURE), my vitamins, some protien shakes, some G2 (for hypdration)my prescriptions for pain meds afterwards, clean pjs and the flight info for my mom and sister who are coming in. If anyone can think of anything I am missing, speak up!  |

Chapstick is a big hit, and I also heard a pillow for your tummy on the drive home and for coughing etc.
I always take earplugs.
I didn't know you could watch btv on your phone!!
I love gadgets!
Good luck tomorrow - how long will you be in the hospital?
Peace
Binda

one or two nights...depending on how I am feeling. My doctor said about 20% of his patients stay one one night. If you have an itouch or iphone, you can download the podcast videos...that is how I first heard of btv!

Our support group leader had a huge bag of the grape multivitamin and passed them out tonight. I leaned over to one of my class mates and let him know about the samples. He's deficient in something - iron I think so I told him about the samples. Yummy stuff I'm telling ya!
Trimoon how did it go?
Eh, she's probably not home yet.
Thanks again Vic!
Peace

Celebrate is awesome. I originally hear of them on ThinnerTimesForum... and now here. I go see my surgeon tmrw for a followup to my post-op complications, but i think i need to put an order into celebrate after I see how all my levels are.
Vic was awesome at sending me samples then i got sick and wasnt even on them. Now i need to get back into the swing of things.

Jerseygirl - glad to see that you are doing well and thank you for your comments. Thanks again Binda! Nothing beats a recommendation from a fellow patient when it is unsolicited. |

I am so pleased with celebratre vitamins, They were the only company who sent me a sample pack, they gave a large variety to try. I was so pleased I ordered myself the multivit pinapple strawberry, ENS vanilla cake batter, B12 sublingle and lemon and chocolate calcet. I loved it all even the protein shake, which in the past I stop drinking protein shakes cuz I couldn't stomach them. The ENS cake batter went down easily. Also because I live in Hawaii shipping is outrageous, they shipped it to me for free and I appreciate Celebrate and will let everyone in my support group and in my program how pleased I am. Mahalo nui loa Celebrat :De (Thank you very much)
