worried...



Recommended Posts

i am worried about an order i placed from the web.

I ordered samples from bariatriceating.com.

My mother gave me her credit card # and i placed the order over

2 weeks ago.I've sent two e-mails to the web address listed there and have had no response.I've never ordered online before and am a bit nervous(paranoid??!!)

If it was my visa # it wouldn't be so bad but my Mom's, geez!

Anyone ever order from there?Do you think i've made a mistake?

My mom is away so i can't ask her to check her visa.

When you placed your order, did the company give you a confirmation number? Do you know how it was being shipped to you? If by UPS, the company usually gives you a UPS tracking number. You can go to the UPS website, enter that tracking number, and find out where your package is. If you have a confirmation number, the company should be able to tell you what's going on -- if there was a back order, delay in shipping, etc. Good Luck!

Hi Chantal

Did you try calling the toll free number from their site

1-888-777-4202 ask to speak to Susan Maria Leach she is the owner of the company. I have ordered from all over the internet and never had a problem yet, so maybe its just a matter of callingto confirm they got your order, that is what I have doen in the past. If they did not send you a confirmation number maybe it did not go through.

Hope this helps

Michelle

I order from the internet all the time. Did they charge the VISA yet? I ordered something before Chrismas that came 5 months later. I figured they lost my order because I never saw the charge, but five months later my card was charged and the package arrived. When I called, they told me they were overwhelmed with orders and had to make more of the product.

I forgot to mention that when you are ordering on-line, make sure you see a little padlock on the bottom of the screen in your taskbar. The padlock represents a secure website. If there's no padlock, don't order from the site.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
