Does anyone know of a store that sells Bariatrix products? I have been trying to search online for a place that is a little bit more convenient, and that has a wider variety, but have had no success. Any thoughts? PLEASE save me a seat on the losers' bench! Thanks! Kristen J.

Hi Kristen, I also had the same question and when I attended the "weigh to win" support group I recieved the best answer and that is: We can have any meal replacement drink with no more than 30grams of protien (good luck finding 30 grams). Some suggestions were Atkins Advent shakes w/18g protien, Slimfast low carb w/20g protien, GNC Brand Bariatric Shake Mix (ask for help and they know which one it is) Kristen, I'm sure there are others but my personal preference is Slimfast because it is thick and creamy. Any of these seem to please my palette alot better than the ones at the office . I prefer the ready mixed in the can, no lumps. I notice that you and I are having surgery this week I can't believe it is finally here. You are going in Tuesday and I am going in on Friday. I'm Quite excited and scared but I can't wait to join the other side, on the losers bench with you and all the many others that have crossed over already. I have big plans for my new life to participate in everything I can't wait See Ya, Sue

Hi Sue, Thanks for the suggestions, I hope that you are home and drinking comfortably. I have been home since Friday morning, and trying to get the drinks in. I am amazed at home little pain I have. Take good care, and thanks for the suggestions! Kristen

You can purchase Bariatrix products at http://www.i-shophere.biz/higprotfruit.html. They have lots of Bariatrix products including protein bars, soups, hot chocolate etc. I have been purchasing my products from them and have no problems. Hope this helps!

Hi Nancy, Thanks for the info on buying online. I will be checking them out during the week this week for sure. Do you have any favorite soups? I am home and close to pain free. I guess my biggest challenge for the moment is getting enough of the liquids to go in! Thanks again! Kristen
