Bariatric Care package?



Recommended Posts

Would anyone be interested in a “bariatric care package” of sorts?

Quick backstory- I was sleeved on 1/23 and have been doing great! One “side effect” (I guess you could call it that) is that anything with preservatives, sugar substitutes, and the like tastes AWFUL to me. I am basically only eating meats, fruits, veggies, nuts- that type of stuff.

The only problem I have with this is that prior to my surgery and shortly after post-op, I went balls to the wall and bought all these Protein Shakes, Protein Soups, protein lemonades, Vitamins, Crystal Light, etc that I now have no use for because I physically cannot tolerate the taste.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in some of the products, free of cost? I would basically just throw a bunch of different stuff in a box and ship it to you. It would be great for people who are pre-op and aren’t sure of what to buy or what you might like or dislike.

If you’re interested, please PM me and let me know! I wanna get all of this stuff out of my house ASAP!

You might also consider giving it to your nutritionists. At my hospital at least they take anything you don't like and give it to some of the low income pre-op people to try.

I already inquired and they won’t take it because they have their own hospital-affiliated products that they push :(

It would be so nice if we could do that on here more often. As an example I'm thinking of asking for samples of products from Bari-manufactures. I'm sure a fair amount will be chocolate which I am violently allergic to, in the future I may be making the same offer to others.[emoji14]

If you still have some left, I would be interested. I have wanted to try other stuff besides the shakes, but I cant afford to take the chance of buying and not liking them. Pm me if you have more left! Thank you! And God Bless You for doing this, as it is very nice to offer them!

Wow, I’m so excited that so many people have responded and PM’d and I’m so happy that all this stuff won’t go to waste!!!

For now, I think I have enough people to cover the amount of stuff I have, or vice versa, but if/when I’m making up the packages and I am able to send out more stuff, I will post again.

Thanks again for your responses. You don’t know how good it does my heart to know this stuff will be put to good use!

      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.
