I live in Canada, and alot of food you guys talk about I can't get here. My parents are going to Minot this week and I want them to look for a few things I've read about on here. So I'm asking for help about where you buy the following...

Isopure Protein drinks...it seems people either love them or hate them, I'd just like to try them

Alot of you talk about flavoured tuna packets?? It sounds like they're kind of a single serving thing??I love tuna and would like to try these

Mr cheese o's....I think people have said you can get these at target?

P3 snack packs.

Thanks!

there is a company in Canada that you can order from online, low carb grocery and I am sure they have the chees o's, be careful they are very high in sodium. The website has all kinds of great low carb goods. In Canada wamart has a P3 snack which are good. In the U.S. I have bought the tuna packets at Walmart and mijers and they are really good.

The flavored tuna packets are starkist.

I get mr cheese o's from Amazon. I have heard you can get them at target but I haven't seen them at mine.

I personally didn't really like the Isopure. I did like ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates when I was on clears.

I too wasn't fond of the Isopure drinks, but I found them more tolerable over ice and mixed 1:1 with Water. The ones I liked best were the grape and blue raspberry, but there were a few I didn't try simply because I didn't care for the particular flavorings as a whole. I normally bought mine at GNC, but I know they can be ordered on most online sites.

P3 snack packs are in abundance on the Gulf Coast. You can find them everywhere from Walmart/Target to pharmacies and gas stations. I prefer just regular deli meat and cheeses for lower sodium purposes, but will grab one or two for work just in case I forget to pack something.

@@rydersmama P3 snack Packs are small portion of high Protein "snacks" that often have a few nuts, small amount of cheese and a deli meat. You can put them together yourself - and it's much cheaper. The prepackaged ones are great to grab in a hurry (have at alot of gas stations/Food Mart's). They also sell them at Target. I just got the tuna packets at Target but they have them at most grocery stores. You can probably get both at Walmart too.

Ok thanks. Our Walmart where I live doesn't sell the P3's.

I don't want to order this stuff online because I don't want a large quantity in case I don't like it....my stomach is very picky these days.

The tuna packets...what flavours are there?

Thanks for all your replies so far

Personally, I like the ranch best. The teriyaki is pretty good. I was at big lots the other day and they had a ton of the lemon.

the only store I've found the Isopure drinks is GNC. While the tuna packets are available at most grocery stores, I would recommend going to Walmart to get them since from what I've seen they have the most variety of flavors in one place. Bumble bee is another brand that has pouches of flavored tuna with some different flavors from Starkist such as jalapeno and sundried Tomato and basil. If you like salmon, chicken of the Sea brand has pouches of flavored salmon. All three brands of pouches can be found at Walmart.

      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.
