Thanks, Alex! I only used them because of Bariatric Pal. Good to know you are no longer connected. Macile

Well, it turns out that even though Bariatric Pal/Care GLP admits they made a mistake and issued the wrong dosage, they are not willing to refund the cost of the meds!

I'm sorry to have to say that I used Bariatric Pal for my Tirzepatide and was sent the wrong dosage. My prescription is for 5mg and I was sent 15mg. Always double check the vial before injecting!

Hi Alex, It looks like Bariatric Pal is now able to sell GLP-1's again thru CARE GLP. Can you tell me what Compounding Pharmacy is being used? Thanks!

I'm sorry - ☹️

Is Bariatric Pal still offering Tirzepatide? The links take me to the Store, but I'm not seeing the medication there. Am I missing it?

I have to decide if the experience is worth the price. For me, the experience is more than just the food, it is enjoying an evening out with friends. Often, I will decide that it is worth full price and go and enjoy every minute, even if I don’t eat as much Sometimes, I will ask the group if we can go somewhere else, and sometimes I will choose to stay home In any case, I am choosing what is best for me. Hope you will choose what is best for you.

A friend tried the compounded semiglutide from Hers and experienced severe heartburn. Has that happened to anyone else?

Congratulations! So good to see your success!

How much are you able to eat at one time without stomach pain? We don't need to eat a lot at one time, but we do want to eat the most nutritious food we can, so that every bite benefits us as much as possible. Glad you are on a better track!

Sometimes we are afraid of success. Sometimes we don’t think we deserve it. Do you have a pattern self sabotage? Hope you find someone with whom to work through these issues. They are important, apart from weight loss.

I had bypass surgery and have always had GERD. Treated with omaprazole and lifestyle. Surgery was still the best thing I ever did for myself. Gerd is nothing compared to being 100 pounds overweight.

I’m looking for some good soup recipes. Any to share?

73 last week. Had RNY in June 2016 when I was 64 and only 20 lbs regain. This surgery changed my life and has made aging so much easier Would certainly encourage anyone who’s interested to give it serious thought

I must admit, I am one of those people who is addicted to protein shakes and even eight years after surgery, they make up the majority of my diet. Do I think this is wise and good? Absolutely not. However, my blood work continues to turn out fine every year The human body is amazing and the amount of abuse it can take

I think it’s important to remember that you will be a different person and will want different things. Change is scary, but it is important I read it is the most important skill of our time I am eight years out since RNY surgery and I can eat anything However, I am such a different person that what I want to eat has changed. So I eat when I want to eat, and that makes me feel satisfied. It’s exciting to see who you will become given this marvelous opportunity Make the most of it!

I wore a long muu muu with a Long Beach cover up, both there and back. I knew I wouldn’t want anything on my waist.

I think of the soft food stage as having a stomach similar to an infant. that made it easy for me to answer the question, should I eat this?

I just googled elevated parathyroid, and that may explain your issue. Would strongly suggest that you see a doctor/surgeon about the elevated parathyroid. Wishing you all the best

I woke up with no pain and had almost none the entire time. Others have said the same. I don’t know what your experience will be, but hope for the best.

My doctor gave me six weeks at my request. Two weeks shouldn’t be a problem. Others, who have needed to go back, were able to do so in just a few days.

Same with me - normal blood pressure and cholesterol without meds. Also no longer pre-diabetic. No achy joints.

I was thinking about your post and remembering how good it felt to hit this current weight when I was losing and how bad it feels to be at this weight when I've regained. The weight, of course, is the same. But my perception of myself is very different. I also need to connect with the person I was six years ago - what was I eating? what were the daily habits that supported the weight loss I was experiencing? how did doing those things affect my self-image? Thanks for sharing your experience and for hearing mine.

Hi Mel I’m also 6 year post op and I, too, have gained 15 lbs. Had an interesting conversation with a friend today who said the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, but connection. Could that be true for you? Are you missing some kind of connection in your life? I think for me, it might be connection to my body. I tend to live in my head, and take my body for granted. Hope you find a way through this dark time. Take care of yourself.

Will you be traveling by plane or car? If possible, pack as much of your own food w you and remember to stay hydrated. How long will your trip be?
