  1. Most of the companyies only give out so many samples a month. We had this issue over at the sleeve forum when I first started making the list. If you wait a few weeks and try again most of the time they will send you some samples. We also noticed that some times they say they dont give free sample and come to find out people were getting samples 2 weeks later. So just try again after thanksgiving. If you get another e-mail saying they dont have samples can you please post what companies they were so I can remove them from the list.
  2. Sorry posted the wrong day. It is Thursday March 20th not Thursday. 6pm-7:30pm

  8. Hello everyone I am from the sleeve forum and since they combined everything I figured a topic I started over there would also help out here. I am making a list of companies that will send out free samples to anyone that requests them. Here is the link: http://www.bariatric...g-free-samples/ The list is growing as I fine and others fine new companies willing to give out free samples. This is great for new people and anyone wanting to try some new things without spending the money to do so. Hope it helps a few people.
  9. Hello, You are in luck here is a link to a post I made with a list of companies that give out free samples. I hope it helps. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/261167-list-of-bariatric-nutritional-companies-offering-free-samples/page-7#entry3240695 The post is pinned under the food and nutrition area. It is the first pinned post.
  10. Ok everyone I am finally able to access the new site. So ill be updating this list over the next few days. the other weekend I found out if you go into GNC they have taste sample of some of their pre made Protein drinks. They allowed me to sample their lean shake (pumpkin spice) and muscle milk. So for anyone wanting to try something but didn't want to spend the money you can ask if they have a sample you can try. not sure if this is all GNC's or just the 2 near me. Doesn't hurt to ask.

    Everyone is different. How many times are you eating a day? I eat about 5-6 times a day every 3-4 hours. Also you getting all your Protein and Water in? This could slow things down as well. I wouldnt read to much into it just follow your doctors orders and if you havenet start doing some type of work out.
  14. I do a protein drink before and after work outs. Or something small food wise with protein like a egg and cheese or a quest bar. most of the time its a protein shake before and after.
  15. I have a sweet frog down the road from me. This is just like a froyo. I use it as a weekend treat. I get a small with some fruit in it. no candies and things. I do the no sugar added flavors. But I just started doing this and I am 9 months out. Everyone is different about how they feel when they eat different things.
  16. I had this over the weekend. It was so good.
  17. GNC has a pumpkin spice protein shake that are pretty good. I also know there are some recipes around for pumpkin flavor protein shakes that you can make yourself floating around.
  18. I ended up buying 24 bottles of the pumpkin spice lean shakes over the weekend. Plan on stocking up on them before they stop making them.
  19. instead of using apple sauce you could use over ripe banana's. I must of missed it while posting the ingredients. Apple sauce or banana's help keep the cake moist.
  20. Hello, my surgery was Jan. 21st 2013. I started out weighing 360lbs and wearing 4xl shirts and size 44-46 waist pants. In the last 9 months I have lost 140lbs and now weigh 220lbs and wear xl shirt and down to a size 32-34 waist pants. Here is before and now pictures since a picture might help you more.
  21. Here is the link to the unjury Cheese. http://www.unjury.com/store/protein/high-protein/mac-n-cheese/proteind-cheese-sauce
  22. They also have turkey ones. I didnt like the ostrich or elk ones.
  23. For anyone who likes cheese popcorn, Unjury has a protein cheese powder. I take some pop corn and put it in a baggy with the cheese powder and shake it up. Gives you some protein with the snack.
  24. Not sure how far out you are but my go to snacks are quest bars, mixed nuts, or ostrim sticks (protein packed slim jim).
  25. Its mostly head hunger. Once you start getting fluids in and start protein drinks that will go away.
