progress Update!

[Wendilou 180]

okay my surgeon finally has all my records and they are reviewing it to submit to insurance! They will call me when they hear back. woot woot! on a fun note, I got the sample pack i ordered from MyBariatricPantry.com! I've tried the strawberry Kiwi Syntrax Nectar and it's not bad. at least I know it's palatable--seems like everyone's taste buds change so much post-op. It could be a welcome change from those creamy vanilla Protein Shakes after a while, especially as the weather turns warmer. it takes a lot like a crystal lite drink. I got the ten bag sample pack, which included for me: Cappuccino, lemon tea, pink grapefruit, Twisted cherry, Roadside Lemonade, apple ecstasy, vanilla bean torte, crystal sky(fruit punch I think), and strawberry mousse. I asked for no chocolate since I'm allergic. I also got two big jars of Matrix Strawberry Cream and Orange Cream. last I got a Click vanilla latte Protein Drink pack 'cause Eggface likes it so much. new things are so fun to try!--At least pre-op they are. sounds like it may be a scary proposition after RNY what with dumping and whatnot. I hope everyone is having a good week. Hang in there!

That's awesome. Good for you. I'm glad your on your way. Will it be in March or April? My surgeon's office called me this morning. They have reviewed all my tests/workup to submit to insurance. However, my insurance company in RI requires me to have 3 consecutive nutrition visits. I've had two, so my next is March 4...Then we are on our way. She told me to call the office the day of my visit and they will make sure we are a go!!! Woot Woot!!!! ))

not a fan of crystal sky AT ALL - had a HUGE container - first few servings yum - after that I was like OMG when will this stop regenerating in the container - that stuff never goes away....

[douchewafflebear 160]

even worse - while I’m complaining - Isopure - pineapple/orange/someotherbarf flavor - that is hideous....i might just toss out the giant container while hubby isn’t looking.

Hahahaa!! I was afraid of that one--I'm not usually a fan of fruit punch.

Yeah, Click is the brand name. It's got a rich espresso flavor. If you're a coffee lover you should give it a try!

I've tried the green apple and strawberry kiwi both were good the people that work there are really helpful and have all had some type of Bariatric surgery do the know what we are going through the owner started the company 5 years ago after having surgery with my Dr Richards and had said no one sold samples you had to buy a big tub and if you didn't like it you were stuck with it cause it happened to her not be able to sample flavors before buying large costly before you knew what you liked. I was told there big seller was the Matrix Cookies & Cream They have an an sum staff and are so helpful and ship quick
