Hi Staci, Dr Wheeler is my Doc as well. I really like him and his staff is great, you may call Angie or which ever Nut. you saw and ask them if they have any samples. You can buy samples at www.bariatriceating.com , you may also ask the Nut. about KDMC's medical supply place, it is down where the old Bluegrass drive -in use to be, they may have samples.  I use the Isopure chocolate. It costs more than a lot of the others but it has vitamins as well. The cheapest place to buy it is on ebay. They sell it a GNC in the Huntington mall, you may even call them and see if they have samples.  I don't know if you have heard about the conference or what ever they call it at Greenbo Lake on the 23rd of this month. I would bet any thing that someone will be there with samples. It costs $20 to register, the way I understand it most of the happenings will be Friday evening and then some kind of follow up and closing Saturday. I think the $20 includes a dinner or something Friday.  Good luck, pan head
