supplements What Foods/Supplements Are Worth the Money?

[Canary Diamond 186]

I'm on the Bariatric Choice website for the $20 deal (btw, am I the only one who finds it funny that VST doesn't recognize "bariatric" as a vocabulary word?) trying to figure out what's worth spending money on. I know not all Protein Shakes, supplements, bariatric foods are not created equally, but this stuff is spendy! And there are a lot of things I could find equivalents for at Wal-Mart. Or so it would appear.

Those of you who order regularly from them, what do you think is worth paying a little extra for? Any particular brands, shakes containing _____ g of Protein, foods you can't get anywhere else?

Much appreciated!

Syntrax matrix brand of shakes. low carb low cal and low fat, tastes great!

I love the mint cookie and orange cream.

I've never found a brand at Walmart that like.

I love Bariatric Advantage choc. chewy Calcium citrate,

but that's not Bariatric Choice.

I spent a great deal of cash on chewable Vitamins off of the internet when wife and I had our operations. Now we buy Centrum Silver chewables at Walmart.

I am a year and a half out and still don't like to swallow pills. I know I am over-babying my stomach. I chew all my pills no matter how gross they taste.

My surgeon said if it fits inside your wedding ring than you can swallow it.

I really like the Syntrax Nectar powders, particularly the ones that mix well with Water. I get tired of the thick, sludgy shakes mixed with any form of milk. My favorites of their flavors are Fuzzy Navel, Roadhouse Lemonade, and Lemon Tea.

I use the Wellesse liquid vitamins - the Multi-Vitamin, Calcium, and Iron. I think they are great. They are not specifically bariatric formula so you may need to take a double dose.

I have heard great things about Ostrim ostrich Jerky but I'm at least four months away from being able to eat jerky and haven't tried it myself.

I agree with you on all of your choices!! These are some of my favorites but I order them on www.mybariatricpantry.com I find they have a lot more choices. You can also order sample packets and I ordered all my Vitamins there. I was going to do the Target thing but when I compared the quality of the Vitamins I ordered the Bariatric Advantage ones. Good luck with your purchases!!
