Bariatric Fusion vs Bariatric Advantage



Recommended Posts

Hello Beautiful People,

Gastric Bypass is definitely a go for November 23, 2021. I have purchased some Meal Replacement shakes and supplements from Bariatric Fusion, but I recently came across Bariatric Advantage. Has anyone had experience with both brands???? Which do you prefer???? Or does it no really make a difference????

Thank you in advance!!!! 💛💛💛💛

individual tastes vary so much that you're likely to get fans on either side. It really comes down to personal taste. I would guess that they're both very good brands, so either would be a good choice...

It comes down to personal taste/what you can tolerate/what you're willing to spend (Bariatric Advantage tends to be more pricey than Bariatric Fusion). I used to take the Bariatric Advantage Calcium until I discovered the Celebrate brand calcium which is so much cheaper ($59 for a 4.5 month supply verses what would cost $75 for the Bariatric Advantage one that would last the same length of time) and both taste good to me (I get the tablets over the chews because the calcium chewable tablets from both are more pricey. You save $8 for the Bariatric Advantage tablets verses the chews, while you save $46 on the Celebrate tablets verses the chew ones). So yeah. Taste, tolerance, and price are all key factors into what one's are the better choice for each individual person.

I will look into Celebrate as well. Price isn’t much of an issue. I have HSA with my job/insurance and so far I have been able to use it for the supplements. I always have money left over each year. So price isn’t an issue. I was asking in terms of quality. Noticeable differences in the way you feel.

My surgeon told me that of her patients that used Bariatrc Advantage had the best post-op labs, by far. Their Protein is pretty expensive, so I got mine through GNC or Walmart. After the chewable Vitamin phose, I stuck with their non-chewable Multivitamins. I don't know...I feel good! Their chewy Calcium tablets are pretty awesome.

I would eat the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews as candy if that wasn’t such a terrible idea. It’s like a starburst laffy taffy. 💖

      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.
