Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

May have been asked, but need answers...my surgery is next Thursday



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm looking for a good source to obtain free or low price sample packets of Protein Shakes without having to order shakes from individual vendors. Also, any suggestions on great liquid meals, I.e. Soups, shakes, baby food (the stage when you go home and the two weeks after). I feel like I'm losing my mind now that the surgery is around the corner. Aaaahhh!

Thank you in advance.

I am glad you asked that question because I just about to post the exact same question. I have my surgery on the 30th of April and I am trying to prepare myself. I am pretty sure someone will respond and I will be looking for those exact same answers. Good Luck! Keep me posted on your progress and I will do the same.

When I was looking for Protein Shakes I found out that Walmart Sams club and costco will refund you your money if you don't like it, by the way Costco has the best price 6lbs for $45

Also I found out that you local Vitamin shops as well as GNC will let you try out the Protein in the store b4 you purchase it that way if you don't like it well you just don't purchase it

Syntrax is offering a monthly promo for 10 packets of sample flavors of assorted choices for 14.00 including shipping.

Thats a pretty good deal.

Unjury offers a sampler with tge famous chocolate splendor & chicken Soup flavors as well as vanilla & strawberry for 19.99+ shipping.

Bjs bariatrics offers the ability to pick the flavors of your samples of Nectars. And is in the $15 range+ shipping.

My bartatric pantry offers syntrax samples pick your flavors & matrix samples assorted flavors.

I have a Blender Bottle which helps mix things well but I still get tons of foam

So far I've tried only the Isopure ready to drink bottled from GNC - it was yucky & had a odd flavor. Had to choke it down.

I tried the Roadside Lemonade from syntrax nectars & it was good, no odd flavors, just a gentle lemonade flavor quite nice.

allons-y

I ordered a bunch of sample packets from www.nashuanutrition.com and I am so glad I did - for variety's sake alone! The sample packets are $1.95 per and quite a selection. Some weren't as tasty as I'd hope they would be but still worth checking out!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
