Would anyone be interested in a “bariatric care package” of sorts?

Quick backstory- I was sleeved on 1/23 and have been doing great! One “side effect” (I guess you could call it that) is that anything with preservatives, sugar substitutes, and the like tastes AWFUL to me. I am basically only eating meats, fruits, veggies, nuts- that type of stuff.

The only problem I have with this is that prior to my surgery and shortly after post-op, I went balls to the wall and bought all these protein shakes, protein soups, protein lemonades, vitamins, Crystal Light, etc that I now have no use for because I physically cannot tolerate the taste.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in some of the products, free of cost? I would basically just throw a bunch of different stuff in a box and ship it to you. It would be great for people who are pre-op and aren’t sure of what to buy or what you might like or dislike.

If you’re interested, please PM me and let me know! I wanna get all of this stuff out of my house ASAP!

You might also consider giving it to your nutritionists. At my hospital at least they take anything you don't like and give it to some of the low income pre-op people to try.

I would love to have some! I am really struggling financially right now and I can’t tell you how much this would be a huge help to me.

I would love a care package. I’m 27years old and my surgery date is April 11th.

I already inquired and they won’t take it because they have their own hospital-affiliated products that they push

What a nice gesture! How cool to be thinking of others:)

It would be so nice if we could do that on here more often. As an example I'm thinking of asking for samples of products from Bari-manufactures. I'm sure a fair amount will be chocolate which I am violently allergic to, in the future I may be making the same offer to others.[emoji14]

If you still have some left, I would be interested. I have wanted to try other stuff besides the shakes, but I cant afford to take the chance of buying and not liking them. Pm me if you have more left! Thank you! And God Bless You for doing this, as it is very nice to offer them!

Wow, I’m so excited that so many people have responded and PM’d and I’m so happy that all this stuff won’t go to waste!!!

For now, I think I have enough people to cover the amount of stuff I have, or vice versa, but if/when I’m making up the packages and I am able to send out more stuff, I will post again.

Thanks again for your responses. You don’t know how good it does my heart to know this stuff will be put to good use!
