My response from Chike

Hi Angela,

At this time we do not have any free samples. We do understand wanting to try something before you buy it, so what we have for you to try is our variety pack at a discounted price. It is one of each of the five flavors in the Meal Replacement and the High Protein Iced coffee. You can order online www.ilikechike.com or feel free to give us a call 800-929-9439 We are open 9am-5pm Mon-Fri. If you have any questions please give us a call.

Thanks for your interest in Chike Nutrition!

Holly

I am using Vita4Life Vitamins and supplements. It's worked very well. I found all my bariatric vitamins and supplements form its web site and its price is very low. So I suggest to try vita4life. It's also available on Amazon.

Just stumbled on this site and have been enjoying it for over an hour! Amazing stories and advice- glad I found it! Wanted to throw out that ProCare Health gives completely free samples. I have sent many new friends to their website to contact them for a free sample. The last support group buddy I told to request some free samples actually got a box with several different items in it. The main thing I wanted him to try was their Vitamin but they sent a Calcium and a few different Protein things as well. if anyone is interested www.procarenow.com This is the Multivitamin I use as it was recommended by my doc and nut- I was even told that ProCare worked with my Doc in developing this Vitamin. I like it-- sooo simple since it is once a day and it doesnt taste bad! I am going to try some of these other sites and see what other samples I can try. Its fun to shake things up and try new things! Thanks everyone!

- Fitness-connection.com --- Free Protein samples -- No longer offers free samples (http://www.fitness-connection.com/category-s/231.htm)

- Spartos.com --- bad link.

I have sent emails to several of the suggestions - Bariatric Choice does offer free samples and I will be receiving them in approximately 14 business days.

I will follow up with any other responses, as well as any other viable options that I may find along the way.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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
