Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

May have been asked, but need answers...my surgery is next Thursday



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm looking for a good source to obtain free or low price sample packets of Protein Shakes without having to order shakes from individual vendors. Also, any suggestions on great liquid meals, I.e. Soups, shakes, baby food (the stage when you go home and the two weeks after). I feel like I'm losing my mind now that the surgery is around the corner. Aaaahhh!

Thank you in advance.

I am glad you asked that question because I just about to post the exact same question. I have my surgery on the 30th of April and I am trying to prepare myself. I am pretty sure someone will respond and I will be looking for those exact same answers. Good Luck! Keep me posted on your progress and I will do the same.

When I was looking for Protein Shakes I found out that Walmart Sams club and costco will refund you your money if you don't like it, by the way Costco has the best price 6lbs for $45

Also I found out that you local Vitamin shops as well as GNC will let you try out the Protein in the store b4 you purchase it that way if you don't like it well you just don't purchase it

Syntrax is offering a monthly promo for 10 packets of sample flavors of assorted choices for 14.00 including shipping.

Thats a pretty good deal.

Unjury offers a sampler with tge famous chocolate splendor & chicken Soup flavors as well as vanilla & strawberry for 19.99+ shipping.

Bjs bariatrics offers the ability to pick the flavors of your samples of Nectars. And is in the $15 range+ shipping.

My bartatric pantry offers syntrax samples pick your flavors & matrix samples assorted flavors.

I have a Blender Bottle which helps mix things well but I still get tons of foam

So far I've tried only the Isopure ready to drink bottled from GNC - it was yucky & had a odd flavor. Had to choke it down.

I tried the Roadside Lemonade from syntrax nectars & it was good, no odd flavors, just a gentle lemonade flavor quite nice.

allons-y

Thank you. I ordered the injury Sample pack yesterday. I also went to GNC, grabbed a sample of the whey Cookies and cream.

I ordered a bunch of sample packets from www.nashuanutrition.com and I am so glad I did - for variety's sake alone! The sample packets are $1.95 per and quite a selection. Some weren't as tasty as I'd hope they would be but still worth checking out!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
