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!

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...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
