You got room for another 'round here ?

Dub do you order your Vitamins or get them from your Doctor? Trying to find the cheapest

[justme29 76]

Not only did the samples come in today.....but so did the regular order.

i haven' tried their Protein powder yet.....but wow.....each of the chewables taste great. Like candy.

These Calcium citrate bites are off the chain !!!!

I will look forward to Vitamin time every day. I need to refer back to the info the nutritionist gave me about the timing of all this. I'm fairly certain she said to stagger the combustion of the various supplements throughout the day. Some don't play well with others and have to be timed separately to get the benefits. Also some were to be taken with the Protein shakes.....some as stand alone.

The flavors, though....so far without even trying their Protein powders......I'll give Bariatric Advantage an A+ on product flavor and desirability. Their standard and even free shipping at this order level....was really fast. There was also a freezer pack enclosed inside the box. Everything was very carefully packed. These folks impressed me. It's pricey....but I figured I'd start of with the stuff I liked during the next couple months of weirdness. It's certainly less pricey than what I've spent on my own frequent drive-thru forays before & after work.....combined with the expensive fried grub at the worksite cafeteria. I figure that I was spending $36 a day on fast food & Snacks. The financial cost and the physical toll such eating was taking on my body.........INSANE. Quality supplements and protein will be so much better all the way around.

I have some unjury powders coming and that should take care of me for a good while. I grabbed some of their chicken Soup in hopes that it's a nice change up when I'm home from the hospital and sore but hungry.

I am considering switching to these supplements. My clinic gives samples. I've only tried the orange. They sell them in the pharmacy as well as Unjury. I got 2 tubs of chicken Soup as I had bought the single use packets early on and loved that one. I wasn't too happy with unflavored but from what I've read it's something I'll be thankful for later. So, I'll hold on to it.

Good luck on your journey! I still have a few small items to purchase before hand too! You sound so ready to go!

Boy, do people's opinions about shakes differ!

My fave Protein shake was / is the GNC Lean shake - 170 calories, 25 grams of Protein. Comes in vanilla, Swiss chocolate and strawberry. My fave was (shocker!) Swiss chocolate.< /p>

Isopure was my least favorite -- still cannot believe how bad that stuff tasted to me. And some others adore it.

My favorite GNC Lean 25 is the Orange Cream. I just get so tired of chocolate everything that it's a nice change!

Dub! You're going to do great! I have lost 5 pounds in two days on this all liquid diet. Once you stick to it and really put your head in it, you'll conquer all things. I started my journey May 29th - 271.1lbs. I am a week pre-op and down to 243.3. I am having the sleeve also. My out of pocket is around $350 for everything - eternally grateful for my wonderful insurance, despite the shitty company I work for (least they could do).

You're going to do great! Follow my blog at http://fromatosleeve.blogspot.com/

We are here for you!

Syntrax Matrix flavors, I have found, are the best tasting. I order mine off Amazon. (I enjoy reading about your journey)

What flavors have you found that you like?

[wannaBthinsoon 1,634]

@@MissAKY Cookies and cream is the best, then fuzzy navel and strawberry.

I just bought the GNC Lean 25 in pumpkin Spice - bringing in the Fall season.

[VSGAnn2014 12,992]

Jeez, there are way more Lean 25 shake flavors than I knew about.

Thanks, all.

Ordered everything.

The samples I tried at the doctors were enough to know the chewable Vitamins were good.....but the chewable calcium citrate is truly outstanding.

I am schedule for surgery on Oct 8th and all set. I just was wondering how long the scars are? And where they are located?

Thank you!

[Runner1 52]

where do you buy the supplements? Like the Calcium?

[Runner1 52]

I love the Bluebonnett Isolate Protein in chocolate. Has 25g Protein and is delish. I also just recently discovered the whey Shots. They have 43g protein in different flavors. Just add Water or put in propel bottle and drink.

I ordered the calcium citrate chewables directly from Bariatric Advantage. I am not kidding when I say they are like candy. Very tasty.

I have been following my pre-op diet plan very strictly and have found having these to provide a nice flavor is something to look forward to and savor them. 1 or 2 really does tame the head-hunger-beast.

That sounds really interesting. Who makes them and where do you get these ???

@@Runner1 I have 6 small incisions with the largest one being about 2 inches.

I've been wondering the specific locations, too.

I have a ginormous umbilical hernia that my surgeon is going to repair during the sleeve surgery.....and a small hiatal hernia.

I wonder if there will be additional incisions. If there are....so be it. No biggie. Just curious.

It'll make for some interesting theories while enjoying the swimming pool next summer. Was he shot? Stabbed? Attacked by a bear ?
