Angry !!! You Go To Be Kidding Me!!!

OK SO IM HAVNG MY SURGERY ON MONDAY AND FIGURED I WOULD START BUYING STUFF TO HAVE IN THE HOUSE FOR WHEN I GET HOME. SO I BOUGHT A FEW DIFFERENT PROTEIN DRINKS TO TRY OUT. FIRST I WAS PISSED CAUSE THEY WERE SOLD OUT OF THE BULLET SHOTS SO I WILL HAVE TO GO BACK. THEN THEY WERE SOLD OUT OF THE PURE PROTEIN IN CHOCOLATE FLAVOR.

SO I BOUGHT 1 CAN OF PURE PROTEIN IN STRAWBERRY AND VANILLA AND ALSO ONE BOTTLE OF ISOPURE IN PUNCH.

OK YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! THEY TAST AWFUL!!! MIGHT BE ABLE TO BARE THE ISOPURE BUT I DONT KNOW HOW LONG THAT WILL LAST!!!! HOPEFULLY WHEN I GO BACK TO GET THE BULLET SHOTS I WILL HAVE LUCK AND THEY HAVE THEM IN STOCK. I FIGURED AT LEAST WITH THE SHOTS I DONT HAVE TO SIP ON THAT AWFUL STUFF ALL DAY. JUST TAKE A SHOT OF THE BULLET AND IM GOOD TO GO.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

deep breaths boots LMAO!
this is what we meant when we said tastes change etc. dont go nuts buying all this stuff now because your buds will work differently post op. what tastes like poop now will be a delicacy (sp?) post op. I thought i could tolerate the isopure punch, bought a case ($48.00 + shipping) and when i got home from the hospital it made me gag. i threw it all away lol! ended up getting the shake powder in vanilla low carb, and have lived off of it ever since.

take it easy. youll find your way. PLUS it will give you an excuse to get out of the house if you dont stock up ahead of time.

remember to breathe lol!

I want the bullets too! I am a big Isopure drinker, but believe you me, it is not fun! I hate the other shakes though except for carnation mixed with six starter chocolate (Walmart buy). You will be fine. The bullets will get back in. Where were you going to buy them by the way?

HEY EDDIE!
MAYBE you can stop over this afternoon.
I would love to give you one of the ready mades
i bought and used pre op and post op.
I find them very creamy like a chocolate milk.
INSTEAD of spending money on an entire pack
u can try one. ALSO i can give you a stallone
protine pudding to try as well.
ITS hard to spend on those products and they taste
nasty.
I find alot of the isopure and those bullet ones will
be too sweet for your taste buds early post op.
MANY surgeons also recommend SUGAR FREE CARNATION
instant chocoate milk and now hersheys hasa sugrar
free chocolate milk with 11 grams of protein.....
so you have to be patient and hard to find products now
as your tastes will change.
MAYBE give me a ring and if you pop over today i can
let you take home a few products to try!!!!
then if you like buy them ?
(((HUG)))

I have read so much here about how there is such a dramatic change in your taste after surgery that I just decided to go to two different companies online and get samples. Surely there will be something that I can stomach after surgery in that group of products. Most people here recommended going the sample route so you don't spend a small fortune on stuff you will never be able to get down.

Hmmmm I Hear Alot Of You Guys Talk About Carnation. But When I Look At The Nutritional Value They Dont Have Much Protein In Them Even When You Add The Skim Milk. Thats Not Much Protein
