Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Idiots, I tell you!



Recommended Posts

So I went to the Vitamin Shoppe looking for this glorious Syntrax Nectar mix I've been reading about. Walked in and two clerks (neither looking particularly healthy themselves) asked what I was looking for. Asked, " do you have Syntrax nectar? "

Silence.

"Oh no, we don't have that."

Silence.

Now, I'm sure I read someone saying they had it so I decided to look around. There, in the Protein Powder section a huge ceiling to floor section of guess what? Syntrax Nectar. In every flavor you can imagine.

I grab lemon tea flavor (great by the way), walk up to the counter and say " uh, yeah you do."

Silence.

Come people, this isn't a big store. Know your stock. And don't counsel me at the checkout that Isopure is "better for me" either when you are missing several teeth.

Uggh. Idiots, I tell you!

Ew. There are people with PhDs working at McDonald's, Vitamin Shoppe. Don't tell me you didn't have any better candidates!

Wow, when I went into GNC, they tried to sell us everything lol, the clerk even pulled out a blender and was whipping stuff up for us to try.

Our GNC has very limited stocka. Seems more geared for bodybuilders.

The VS make me so mad. They are the only store I've ever visited that treated me like a third class citizen when I was at my fattest, helping everyone else while helping me, basically putting me off with each new customer who came in, answering the phone and staying on it, etc.

Now that I look more normal, I have their attention. Hmph. If I could get my OH YEAH bars else where, I would. Too hot for mail order...

      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.
