Bariatric Care package?



Recommended Posts

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

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.

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!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
