So I went and was thinking about buying these, but when I did my research, i was blown away on why this is even marketed to the weight loss community. My question is any please anyone chime in. Why would any Bariatric Surgery Patient knowingly use a product with sugar in it when the market leader does not.

Heres something that you might like, im all about convenience. They sel the protein bullets called profect. check it out here. Bariatric Advantage - Liquid Proteins

I was told to stay clear of the optisource because its so high in sugar. There are other brands out there that are actually better. I preffer the bariatric advantage brands. I see you also take the omega-3 they have a soft omega chews that are phenomenal. you can all them and ask for samples they send them out at no extra charge. get their phone number here.

Just to chime in myself. I get my stuff here. They also have a very helpful customer service you can call them at 800.898.6888 Bariatric Advantage - Meal Replacements Bariatric Advantage - Protein Powders Bariatric Advantage - liquid Proteins

I know for a fact the Bariatric Advantage High Protein Meal replacement has been clinical proven to shrink the liver prior to surgery. Ask your doc about it. Here is the link for you to look up if you want. Bariatric Advantage - Meal Replacements

You might want to try some b-12 I know it has helped me. Bariatric Advantage - B Vitamins - B-12

This is my first post, have you ever thought about taking some meal replacements. I was thinking about that. Like with me as well maybe replacing a meal with a meal replacements. I have tried the BA brands and they taste pretty good. Here is a link. Bariatric Advantage - Meal Replacements

You know what always worked for me is the control bars. It is a nutrition bar and it actually helps curb appetite as well. Take a look here. I dont know where else they sell it. Bariatric Advantage - Protein Bars - Control Bar

You can shop around. There is a Meal Replacement though not really a Protein drink, but it is High in Protein and the vanilla to me taste just like cake batter. It was so good. lol But if you want to look around go here and just see for yourself. Bariatric Advantage - Meal Replacements Bariatric Advantage - Protein Bars

Not to butt in, but try other meal replacements that just might help you. Search around. I know Bariatric Advantage has a Meal replacement that is equivalent and I heard even better because it has less sugar. Bariatric Advantage - Nutritional Supplements, Vitamins, Proteins, and Help for Gastric Bypass, Distal, Lap Band, Realize, Stomaphyx and Duodenal Switch Surgery Patients take a look there good luck to you.

I have always said do your own research, yeah I post opinions and I have a certain brand that i Like in particular, but people should always do their own research, I mean its cool to listen to different opinions, but never just live by them.

I know a lot of people remember the Viactiv or the citracal Calcium chews, everyone seemed to have loved them including myself. I know we already have issues with taking the correct Vitamins and actually liking them. Bariatric Advantage is releasing the soft calcium chews, no I have never tried them so I dont know, but from speaking to one of their reps its suppose to be similar to the viactivs one which was really good. Here is the link. Maybe theyll give away some samples. I figured ill start a thread like this because every little think helps. Bariatric Advantage - Chewy Bites

good for you!!

No i have not been banded yet, I was thinking about it for a long time, and I thought Id join here if I ever really got around to it, but believe it or not excersice and eating correctly is helping me im about 5'9 and i was like 280 which to me is huge. im down now to 204 and still loosing. I say alot about bariatric advantage because they are an awesome product and I believe that people like myself or any body else that have undegone some kind of bariatric surgery can benefit through them. I have seen alot of Vitamins out there, but I have never fully seen a nutritional company that is so dedicated to the bariatric community. For the most part the specs in the viactiv and bariatric advantage brand are accurate. Except viactiv uses calcium carbonate which is harde to break down. Bariatric Advantage uses calcium citrate which is perfect for the bariatric patient. Viactiv also contains sugars and Bariatric advantage does not. I checked and the price is 8.95 not the 6.99 that you said well at least online. Bariatric advantage is now doing a pre-order as well and its buy 3-get the 4th free. Thanks for looking out though and being suspicious, thats why im always so nervous in posting in here, because you cant say positive thinks about company without someone being negative or being suspicious oh well i guess its all part of blogging, theres my say. Get some from Bariatric advantage or Viactiv your choice. Have a good day everybody and keep on loosing.

Sweet Cravings, wow I get those all the time it seems lol! I really try and the key word is Try to find healthy sweet Snacks, the one i found is called the control bar, they are quite good and they actual curve appettite, i like the chocolate Peanut Butter, the best. Here is the link Bariatric Advantage - Protein Bars good luck to you guys.

Night time hunger attacks all of us, but at the same time dont starve yourself. If you must eat a midnight snack try to find something like what I did. I found a nutrition bar that is actually also scientifically proven to curve appetite, its called the control bar, you can check it out here. Bariatric Advantage - Control Bar - Chocolate Delight (1 bar)

It is called The Texas Weight Loss Surgery Summit. It is a summit that has to deal with Post-op Issues of all weight loss patients. Pretty much focusing on nutrition, diet, excercise. ETC all AFTER SURGERY CARE. The main speaker will be Dr. Garth Davis from TLC TV Show "Big Medicine" you can get more info or register at. Texas Association of Bariatric Surgeons (A website for weight loss surgery patients and the people who care for them.) - Home Im sure its going to be very very imformative. Ill be there. I think.

Take a look at Bariatric Advantage, They have multiple Flavors, in terms of calcium they have them in crystal form and you can mix them like crystal light, they have an unflavored one which you can mix with your juice, yogurt, etc. Take a look I know it has helped alot of people when texture and taste becomes an issue. Heres the Link. Bariatric Advantage - Bariatric Advantage Calcium Crystals, Stick Pack (60 servings), Unflavored

try the bariatric advantage brand, I know you can ask for samples if you want before buying the bigger bottles, they said they make their calcium with hershey chocolate so definitely worth a look. check it out here. Bariatric Advantage - Bariatric Advantage 400mg Calcium Citrate Lozenges w/ Vitamin D - Chocolate (90 count)

Yes, but it is not neccesarily a physical weight gain, I know some Dr's will cancel if the liver is to big because it obstructs their view and cause complications. I know alot of people prior to surgery take like a Meal Replacement to help with liver shrinkage. Have you seen the Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacements they are actually scientificaly proven to shrink liver. Here is the link, Bariatric Advantage - High-Protein Meal Replacement

I would stay away from the so called "Diet Pills" No offense but these guys have made billions with a so called pill that has not scientific study behind it. WHat some people have used and it is also mighty tasty if you ask me is the control bar, even melting mama did a review on it, they taste good and they are the only nutrition bar scientifically proven to curve appetite. Take a look here Good luck. Bariatric Advantage - Control Bar

Sometimes usually for pre-op diets it is mainly for liver shrinkage so it is easier for the Dr. to perform surgery on you. The Bariatric Advantage High Protein Meal replacement is actually proven to do this. Check it out here. Bariatric Advantage - Bariatric Advantage TUB Meal Replacement (Coffee)

Speaking of Protein Bullets here is my favorites and this one comes with 50g of protein and they taste great to. I personally think the best in the market, good luck. http://www.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/itemHandler?id=1390 You can choose from many different flavors.
