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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
