Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Anyone from the South Florida area. I am in Davie but being sleeved in Hollywood Florida this Thursday 6/7 (i can hardly believe its almost here) I keep reading posts about people finding different "supplies" at Walmart, target etc. Every time I check I can't find any of the items mentioned. I thought local people would know what we have down here! If you have found any good products or good deals...

I'm in Vero Beach, which is closer to the middle of FL, but I may be able to help you figure out what stores carry what you're looking for. If you tell me what you're having a tough time finding, I'll be happy to help. You can PM me or do it here in this thread. :)

I was trying to get the stuff for the eggface ice cream recipes. I can't find the sugar free syrups anywhere. Also I see a lot or posts about sugar free pudding mix to add to Protein Shakes and all I can find is plain vanilla. I know every store is different. So I thought if someone close by was able to find things I could drive to their locations =)

Walmart does carry the sugar free syrups. Usually found in the coffee aisle. they also carry the SF pudding mixes over near the baking supplies. Amazon has all of the above if you truly can't find a local store with them.

Hello Ladies - Boynton Beach here. I've been eating Nature Valley Oats 'n Honey Granola Bars and just love them. I get them at costco - they come in a huge box that lasts about a month.

Wow pembroke pines, that's really close!! I bought some of the sugar free syrups at marshalls, but it was vanilla caramel etc. I wanted plain strawberry. But now I am 6 Weeks post op tomorrow so just using regular strawberries! This is the first week I have actually felt back to myself!!! Sooooo glad since I was starting to have major regrets!

I am on the other coast of Florida near Tampa. Sleeve scheduled for 8/6. I start preop diet tomorrow. How soon did you guys get back to work after surgery- I know everyone is different. Just trying to get an estimate, I am taking ten days off. Not sure if is enough time.

Congrats on your date! That's right around the corner!! I feel like I could have went back to work pretty quickly and been fine, however I probably wouldn't have fallen asleep on my desk! I was soooooo tired for like the first three Weeks.

We have a wine rack that came with our furnished rental here in Dade City. My wife filled it up with sugar-free syrups from T.J.Maxx and a little from Sam's Club. We hit the Organo Gold coffee every day, she can really jazz 'em up!

      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!
