Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

If theres a Vitamin shoppe near you they have sample packs by the registers & will match their online price of 35.99. -store shelf price is $39.99.

Amazon has slightly cheaper-$32-$35& free shipping.

I've gone both ways.

If I may make a suggestion on flavors- get the roadside lemonade- its a mild lemon flavor - like watered down lemon Jello. Its great to mix in your fav mio or crystal lights so you go from one flavor to like 6 variations out of one tub.

Fuzzy navel is nice also.

I mix only w/ Water for fruit flavors & 1/2&1/2 Water & milk for desert flavors- chocolate, vanilla & Cookies.

The double oreo flavor is so-so, i prefer the vanilla torte w/ a pump of sugar free Torani smores Syrup from world market.

allons-y

No problem!

I wish I could give you all mine. I have the unflavored' date=' Cookies, chocolate, and vanilla. Post-op I cannot do these. So I have 4 new ones (ran out the week before surgery) and I'm so ticked I just can't throw them away.

Edited: 4 newly opened ones[/quote']

I don't like to throw stuff away either. Did they just not agree with you post op?

I didn't realize we had a Vitamin Shoppe but I just searched for one and we do! Ill have to go check them out . Thanks for the flavor ideas. I'm worried that it will be chalky. I don't do well with chalky. Do you find them chalky at all?

I don't like the Nectars - they're too sweet for me. But someone did bring Roadside Lemonade with the Walden Farms 0-everything strawberry Syrup and some Crystal Light Lemonade in it - AWESOME. Protein, about 35 calories for 8 oz, and tastes good. (just don't let it sit out, or the protein settles)

I'm currently hating Fuzzy Navel. Naturally, because I have a full tub of it. Loving loving mint chocolate chip. Naturally, because I'm running out of it :)

I luuurve the mint chocolate chip and the chike coffee Protein.

I got the sample pack and thought the fruit ones were disgusting. However, I read on their website that they formulated them to be eaten plain, like a pixie stick, and I'm LOVING them like this!

My only thing about doing it that way is I bet it doesn't fill you up. I wouldn't think it would anyways.

It's actually helping me with that - I'm 4 weeks out and still on purees and am so sick of drinking at night from all the Water so it's nice to have my evening Protein plain. I actually almost never feel full (or hungry actually) because I'm still mostly liquid.

Nope, I ended up lactose intolerant post-op. Never had that problem pre-op so now the whey is a no-go for me.

That is so weird!! Eat the powder plain? Sounds fun if you can do it. All the whey just tears up my stomach right now. Maybe in a few more weeks.

Me too! I cannot do anything whey.

Can't they be mixed with Water, or does the product its self have lactose? I know that bites. I'm sorry! :(

        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.

      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
