Question:
Does anyone else get unsolicited email from Proteinex??

I keep getting messages from someone from Llorenspharm, the company that makes Proteinex. It says congrats on your wls, please try this product, blah blah blah. It gets sent to the email address off my profile, which is not my regular email, so I know they are getting it from this site. Is this happening to anyone else?? Hugs, Kim S.

I have never received any emails from Proteinex(odd, because I actually use their product! lol). But, I have received emails from RealMeals and their site. I have finally blocked their email address so I won't get anymore. That is what I would suggest you do.

I also got that same message. I also got a message that I could get a free sample so I sent for that, that was just 2 days ago so nothing back from them. My WLS is in 2 weeks so I am trying out different proteins to have something on hand that I like.

I didn't get that email - but I'm still preop. I have gotten a few WLS related emails, but I actually kind of appreciate them AND compared to all the other spam I get, this isn't too bad because it's somewhat informative and of interest to me. You could always block the email if it was getting to be a bother.

I don't know that this is the case in this instance, BUT it would not be surprising to learn that since these vendors are financial supporters of obesityelp.com, they might have negotiated for the right to use obesityhelp's member email database. This is not at all unusual, and as someone previously posted, if it bother's you just block the posts. Lori (RNY 6/20/03, 308/215)
