Which Weight Loss Surgery Foods and Products Would You Like to See?



Recommended Posts

The weight loss surgery diet is strict, but there is an entire industry of weight loss surgery products to help make your journey easier. There are reduced-calorie, low-carb, high-Protein versions of foods from Cereal and pancakes to Pasta and wraps. Also, of course, there are tons of convenient Meal Replacements and Protein shakes and bars to fight hunger at a moment’s notice, no matter where you are.

Even though there a lot of weight loss and weight loss surgery foods, there may be some others that you would like to see. Is there a certain flavor of Protein Bar or Protein shake that you would love to try, or are there any high-carb, high-calorie off-limits foods that you wish you could find in a low-carb, but still tasty, version? Or maybe you can think of something that would make a pre-op or post-op liquid diet easier that you haven’t been able to find in stores?

Share what you would like to see on shelves as you lose weight! If you are lucky, you might discover that another BariatricPal member knows where you can find that dream food!

I really like Baractricchoice. I use Multivitamin patch so I don't need to take so many pills.

sorry, Baractric Pal sells the patches!

We sell almost every item sold on Bariatric Choice. They don't sell Vitamin Patches, we do :)

I would just love to have access to all of the products that are already out there. It's hard to find a lot of products in Canada, and when you can find a company that will ship here, the shipping fees and duty fees are often prohibitive.

It would be nice to have vendors in Canada that sold these things - either in store or online!

We have many BariatricPal Store customers in Canada and ship there daily. Shipping is really expensive. We looked at opening a store in Canada but importing all of our products is too costly and timely. We are working on a shipping option which will allow us to offer to offer free or inexpensive shipping options. We are opening a new warehouse in a few months and once that's open, you'll see shipping fees to Canada slashed dramatically.

That's great news...I look forward to it!

I want frozen meals for the different stages. Yes, yes, yes, eating fresh food is ideal. Cooking yourself is ideal. But the best diet is one you can stick to. Send me a subscription once a week of prepared lunches, say 250 calories, high in Protein, flavorful, low carb. And don't write the word "bariatric" on the box so I can take them to work. That's a service I'd subscribe to.

I wish you had a section in your store for vegan Protein. I am highly allergic to why and I literally have spent hours reading every one of your labels and so far I haven't found any Protein product I can use/eat/ingest. I asked the live chat gal, Monica, for links to products without whey and she couldn't help me.

We've been lagging behind in the Vegan department. We really don't have much yet. We will be adding more Vegan-friendly products later this summer.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
