BariatricPal Launching Online Store to sell Discounted Bariatric Nutritional Products ? (Vitamins, Protein etc.)



Recommended Posts

I think it's a great idea! You should sell Vitamins, Protein drinks, small portion plates,healthy Protein Bars, I currently use Bariactric Advantage. I know it will be a hit.

I would love this, all our needs on one web site I am a newbie, possibly surgery March or April, and this would be great to have as another tool to use and know we can trust the products, and if the members that use them or have used them could give feedback and rate the products that would be helpful for us overwhelmed newbies that don't know what products to choose and which ones are the best. Thank you, great idea!!!

An alternative with samples of Calcium chews and one a day Multivitamins would be very welcome. Please price reasonably against the outrageous prices we find on other sites. And NO automatic refill. If you sell at a fair price with good tasting products, I would prefer to buy online from BP.

Thanks!

We're highly contemplating opening an online store on BariatricPal that will sell discounted Bariatric Nutritional Products. We'll most likely stock all the big brands plus some others we feel would benefit the community.

Would this be something that interests you ?

Which products do you use most ?

Would you be interested in a monthly auto-ship service ?

This is a really great idea! I would love to be able to get my unjury Protein, opurity Vitamins and Calcium and Quest bars all in the same place. Of course the cost of shipping would be very important to whether or not I used your online store.

It would also make a big difference if you accepted Paypal for payment!

Yes I would be interested in Vitamins and other items I should be taking. Not interested in auto-ship. Would be interested in recipes and menus for sleeve patients. Thank you for considering an online store.

And maybe down the road some compression garments for the very large. And snarky t shirts that say " Your approval is neither desired nor required" or

"Tell me again how I took the easy way out" ,lol cause I am really getting tired of hearing that

Absolutely a yes from me - on one condition !!! That you ship to Australia!!!

I am having so much trouble getting good quality Vitamins etc in Australia. calcium citrate in any other form except for a great big horse tablet is almost unheard of.

Great idea! I look forward to your sample packs. I have wasted a lot of money buying (and throwing out!) lots of brands of Protein powders because I was not able to try a sample first.

Will you also be creating food/liquid tracking apps for post surgery folks? I use MyFitness Pal to track but it is not perfect for my post surgical life. It is not easy to log Fluid intake and it automatically subtracts exercise calories. I would love an app that really works with my goals and needs.

I would love to see products to purchase on this site. So now I will wait to see what develops. Vitamins that are easy to assimilate is what I am most interested in. I am sure I will be a returning customer.

Add me to the Quest bandwagon. Would love to receive them at home????

And sample packs are interesting; often I need to try something first before buying a quantity.

Could be a new addition to this site that I check in on almost every day????

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
