As for requiring you to only use their stuff, pretty sure they cannot do that. I would contact your insurance company, if you are using one.

Its called a upsale the more upsales they do before/during/after the more money they make.
Big ole fat bonus checks coming there way in commission for allllll the upsales they scare into people buying.
Its pretty shady and a downside to having a system where you pay for everything.
Don’t let the fear make you buy from them they are medical professionals they know that telling you you can ONLY have what they provide has a underlying tone of “or else you will fail and if you ever do gain weight or not lose enough one time we will blame it on this and push harder”
A scare tactic nothing more.
What if you hate the taste of what they sell or can’t tolerate it?
Don’t be bullied into purchasing from them go along with it say yes yes then just don’t say you changed your mind as you researched it and found something you find more palatable.

Hi everyone! I started my pre op diet yesterday. I also had my class. I got my Vitamins and shakes and was told that I have to take the vitamins forever and have to get the vitamins from them. They are 25.00 a month. My question is, why would I have to get my vitamins from them? My husband and I are not to happy about that. Also I was told I can't have Atkins Protein Shakes and I have to have theirs! My husband did comparisons and the same ingredients are in each! Is anyone else going through this?

Who's your surgeon? I was told the same thing by my surgeon's office as well.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
