Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement



Recommended Posts

Has anyone tried these before? Are they good? I have been trying different Protein Shakes, but of course not this one! :blink: And now I'll have to drink 6 scoops of it a day for 14 days.... It comes in five different flavors & I ordered a couple sample packs from MyBariatricPantery.com. I was just wondered what the general consensus was on the taste?

Thanks.

I personally LOVE these. The Bariatric Advantage Protein Shakes to me are the best ever. I love to get the vanilla and mix the powder with yogurt or puddings. . and add extracts into it when i use it as a drink. . . the chocolate is great too with Peanut Butter mixed into it . . tastes like reeses peanutbutter cups. . . and if you mix cherry extract into it as a drink it taste like cherry covered chocolates. . . yummmmm. . . . It's not chalky and mixes really well. . . but that is just my opinion. . . others may absolutely hate it. . . . good luck! I'm almost 2 years out and still use them faithfully

Wendy:

Bariatric Advantage was required by my surgeon for the pre-op liquid stage -- it was not negotiable. I got the vanilla and chocolate and they're both pretty good. I picked up some Torani sugar free syrups and Splenda which make the shakes scrumptious! My favorite is chocolate with the Torani Chocolate and Almond Roca syrups added. I also made vanilla shakes with Torani SF French Vanilla and added frozen cherries. That was yummy too! I bought a couple of shaker bottles from GNC and so the shakes mixed up really well (no clumps) and I took them to work with me. I bought small bottles of the syrups to keep in the office. In the morning I would just throw 2 scoops of powder in the mixer bottle along with a packet of Splenda. At lunch time I would buy a carton of skim milk and then mix the shake when I was ready to "eat".

I'm 16 days post-op and I've been adding a scoop of the chocolate to my cream of wheat Cereal in the morning. Tastes like coco wheats (one of my favorite cereals growing up).

Best of luck to you on your journey.

Okay, well this sounds promising! I have bought a bunch of SF pudding mixes but haven't actually tried them in anything yet... Thanks for all of the yummy sounding suggestions!!

I don't really like them. I made the mistake of adding milk to it - it was like trying to drink clay. Lord it was thick. I needed more calories so I thought I could get a few in by using milk instead of Water. Won't do that again. I find that they are a bit too sweet, too. Maybe I'm just used to Unjury at this point. Hope they work for you!

I didn't like them either. Before surgery was fine, but after, it took me so long to drink, and they just kept getting thicker, like glue the longer they sat. It got so the smell just gagged me.

I have not been drinking the Bariatric Advantage stuff since before surgery. It was way to thick all the time and there is no way I would get it all down now. I have been sticking with the Nectars and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Proteins. My doctors office was not opposed to me using other brands as long as it was reputable.

Oh and I bought my SF Torani syrups from Amazon.< /p>

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
