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! :(

      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.
