Day 97 - Meet the supplements: "The Melman Cocktail"

"MELMAN COCKTAIL"




Now that I am taking "A Melman Cocktail" I decided to post all the supplements and medicines I am ingesting daily. 

Remember: not everybody needs to take the same supplements and not everybody needs to take the same ammount, it totally depends on your doctor's personal and individual prescription, this is just MY case which I'm sharing. 

1.- Victoza (Liraglutide) Medicine for diabetes II control - 1.2 Injected.
2.- Dabex XR (Metphormine) - Medicine for diabetes II control - 1 Pill.
3.- Zyloprim - Medicine to lower Uric Acid - 1 Pill.
4.- Omega III - 1 Pill.
5.- Vitamins - 1 Pill.
6.- Sodium - 2 Pills.
7.- Calcium - 1 Pill.
8.- Magnesium - 3 Pills.
9.- Corpotasin (Potasium) - 1 Pill.
10.- Bio Tone NTS - 4 Pills before going to bed.
11.- Nexium Mups - 1 pill (this is only for the next 14 days to avoid gastrits...¿ya think?)

These are my daily dosages. 















** Please do not auto prescribe yourself, always ask your doctor and NEVER take medicines without medical supervision!!!.

    3. I'm good thanks. Never hungry but always tired so a little different to your start.
      As for the pills, I find eating them in the middle of the meal instead of at the end helps a lot as the food pushes them further down your throat. At least psychologically if not actually...

    4. Dear Ellie, it is totally normal to have low energy at first, that is because (as they explained to me) we are used to eat A LOT of calories and suddenly we are eating 600 calories, our rendition is low and it is totally normal, I used to sleep all day for the first three weeks (but was too ashamed to post it LOL!) but it's totally normal. Don't push yourself to do any excercise or your boday to excesive movement. It you feel TOO tired, let your doctor know about it.
      It's funny about the pills, here in Mexico they strongly suggest to take them 10 minutes after the envelope, that way it won't hurt your tummy.
