Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Anyone from the South Florida area. I am in Davie but being sleeved in Hollywood Florida this Thursday 6/7 (i can hardly believe its almost here) I keep reading posts about people finding different "supplies" at Walmart, target etc. Every time I check I can't find any of the items mentioned. I thought local people would know what we have down here! If you have found any good products or good deals...

I'm in Vero Beach, which is closer to the middle of FL, but I may be able to help you figure out what stores carry what you're looking for. If you tell me what you're having a tough time finding, I'll be happy to help. You can PM me or do it here in this thread. :)

I was trying to get the stuff for the eggface ice cream recipes. I can't find the sugar free syrups anywhere. Also I see a lot or posts about sugar free pudding mix to add to Protein Shakes and all I can find is plain vanilla. I know every store is different. So I thought if someone close by was able to find things I could drive to their locations =)

Walmart does carry the sugar free syrups. Usually found in the coffee aisle. they also carry the SF pudding mixes over near the baking supplies. Amazon has all of the above if you truly can't find a local store with them.

Wow pembroke pines, that's really close!! I bought some of the sugar free syrups at marshalls, but it was vanilla caramel etc. I wanted plain strawberry. But now I am 6 Weeks post op tomorrow so just using regular strawberries! This is the first week I have actually felt back to myself!!! Sooooo glad since I was starting to have major regrets!

Congrats on your date! That's right around the corner!! I feel like I could have went back to work pretty quickly and been fine, however I probably wouldn't have fallen asleep on my desk! I was soooooo tired for like the first three Weeks.

We have a wine rack that came with our furnished rental here in Dade City. My wife filled it up with sugar-free syrups from T.J.Maxx and a little from Sam's Club. We hit the Organo Gold coffee every day, she can really jazz 'em up!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
