Louisiana/Mississippi area. (sleeved 3-25-10)

Hi- I am in the north Louisiana area. Will that be helpful with regard to your questions? About 3.5 hours west of Jackson, Missisppi. As for shopping, my favorite hobby, I have found Mississippi to be far superior to Louisiana if you are comparing shopping in general. I am to be sleeved in June (late June) and have not started looking for any protein or specialty items. Please let me know if I can help.!

Allot of these bariatric websites will offer free shipping if you order a certain amount of products at one time. bariatric eating.com is free shipping after $85 for example.

@fatnomore50, Thanks! And I will do the same for you since Im a month out. @swiftflow, I will check it out, my problem is finding something I like first, then ordering it. So far all I really like is Muscle milk, found at walmarts, and feel free to call me if anyone wants to talk "sleeve" lol 601-772-9740 Thanks again, Sheri.

You might try those sites for sample packs as well. I did get isopure unflavored off of amazon and that way I can just mix it with a crystal lite flavor I like.

I also recommend that bottle called the blender bottle --its a shaker with the wisk ball in it that helps mix it up better.

I am a South Mississippi Girl! I was sleeved on April 26!! I am excited about the journey that I am beginning!! Tomorrow will be my first day to eat something other than clear liquids.

Sounds like you could make a blender bottle yourself with a Martini shaker. I love making things. Im weird like that, lol. Im closing in on 6 weeks, I am in the Mushies stage. Mashed Potatoes are great and you can mix them up so many ways. I accually ate them before I was spose to, they went down easier for me than 3 min eggs. I eat them slow, a few bites then I wait 15 min, if I still want more, I do more, no problems so far. Gritts are great, but they say not too, because they swell and really dont get anything from them. Bushes Baked beans........awesome. Finally some flavor. Ofcourse Im not regular though, lol. Gonna ask Dr. if I can start some fiber pills to help with that, its really hard to get variety in ur diet to keep you regular, still not getting enough water, but, found a cheat....WATERMELON! Awesome, I chew it well, not much to it really, and its all water with good refreshing taste, its my Savior so far.@ mhopkins, where in south Ms.?

I live in Picayune. Just right across the Louisiana line! Thanks for the advice to, I to am having a hard time getting in enough water, I know that I really need to sip sip sip, because I have my post op Tuesday and I don't want to get in trouble! LOL
