bjoel reacted to dmdakd in One Year Update
Well one year ago today I had surgery with BariatricPal MX, what a year it's been. Last night a friend of mine sent me a picture from the night before surgery and frankly I was shocked with the before and after. It's amazing how quickly you can forget how far you've come in such a short amount of time.

bjoel reacted to GreenTealael in Protein comparisons
The only recommendation make by my NUT was at least 15g of Protein per serving and less than 5g of sugar. Other than that it was what you could tolerate. Pure protein makes a powder also (I've see a giant tub at Sam's club) .
Powder is more cost effective yet pressed is convenient. So a mixture of both may be necessary to make life easy.
*I would however suggest waiting until after surgery to buy large quantities on anything. And then you may want to test out a few to find what works well.
I had to return SO many products (including $50 tub of Isopure and 3 cases of clear protein drinks) because although I tolerated them perfectly prior to surgery, after was a different story and even now I have to rotate brands.
And if you decide to buy bulk make sure you know the return/refund policy.
Hope that helps

bjoel reacted to LauriDJ in Is Belite Weight still in business??
I used Belite, I highly do NOT recommend them! They are about the money & that's it! I went to them for my sleeve back in 2011, when I would have a question they would not respond, or they would keep putting me off, but if I held back on a payment they were on the phone & sending me lots of emails demanding their money.
As I said, I do NOT recommend them!
