Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate Shakes



Recommended Posts

I have to purchase a package from the surgeons office that consist of two Bariatric Advantage flavors and two Celebrate shake flavors. Has anyone tried these shakes? I am just looking for some insight.

Why do you have to buy from your surgeon's office?

I have not tried either product so I'm sorry I can't answer your question about them.

The only whey Protein Powder that I have only used is Jay Robb. It's very good and made with Stevia. You can buy it from Whole Foods if you have that in your area, directly from the company or Amazon. It comes in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and one or two other flavors.

I also use Torani sugar free syrups to add flavor to the Protein Shakes. It's made with Splenda. It comes in many, many flavors. You can get it from the company, or if you have World Market in your area they sell it too.

You could ask your nutritionist or surgeon if they are allowed on your program they have come up with for you.

Good luck on your surgery next month.

It's mandatory to purchase the shakes and all the Vitamins plus Calcium to get you started. It's 250 dollars. I think it's a rip off personally.

I don't understand how they can make you, but I have tried both vitamins and I am currently going with Celebrate cause it's cheaper. My docs office sells it with like a $ 5 up charge for shopping , but it's not mandatory. These are the only 2 companies I know of that have what we need after surgery and break down in our body correctly. The Bariatric Advantage powder taste ok but it has a thick texture. I have tried vanilla and the coffee flavor. If I bought more it would be chocolate and don't over blend cause it can get foamy. The powder is like $ 65 online. Check both companies online and compare the prices with the office. What city do you live in?

The Bariatric Advantage orange cream is good. I did not care for the chocolate. The banana was okay. I too had to purchase from the doctors office for the two week preop diet. The Soup is not too bad either.

I was told at my pre-op appointment that I didn't have to buy their starter kit. I could of saved myself 250 dollars. Their dietitian, who is not working there anymore told me I had no choice but to buy it. Also at my pre-op appointment they said I could only drink the shakes they sell in their office. I'm not paying 50 a tub for Protein that I can cheaper at sam's club.

      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.
