Where to buy stuff after banding



Recommended Posts

I don't know of any specific websites. If you search "protein drinks" or "protein shakes" on this site you will get tons of ideas. As far as Vitamins, I just take a childrens Gummy multi-vit I got at costco.

Good luck!

Vitamin Shoppe has lots of choices as does bariatriceating.com.

I have enjoyed New Whey protein- looks like a test tube and Muscle milk carb concious. I find Vitamin shoppe is cheaper they have free shipping from time to time

Good luck as taste varies alot!

The nutritionist I Had to see before banding suggested vitalady.com they had some good stuff. GNC has some drinks too Oh and Trader Joes has some great pre-made drinks in cans.

I like www.eas.com for the carb control line of ready to drink drinks, the choc and coffee flavors are very good. Plus they are on sale.

www.unjury.com also has a good line of powders

As for Vitamins, my Bi-lo(grocery store) pharamcist showed me the chewable Centrum vitamins. THey are oranged flavored, they arent Flintstones "good". But they are ok.

I am not sure if it is appropriate to mention another website here or not, but www.obesityhelp.com

has an online store where you can purchase things specifically for people who have had WLS. I don't know how there prices are compared to others though, as I have not actually purchased any of these items myself.

      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.
