Just wanted to warn everyone about this new bariatric product website.  www.behealthydrinks.com/
This site is owned and operated by the person that used to run Bariatric Eating, the website where so many people ordered products that they never received (it's been about six months, I think, since the site shut down and left many customers without their money or their orders).  I just wanted people to be aware, in case they were thinking of ordering from this new site.

I know quite a few people that have been burned by Bariatric Eating. They charge your credit card for your order immediately, but don't ship out your order.

I know.  She is now saying it's because her computer system crashed and she lost all the orders and is trying to fix it.  Which I don't believe.

And now she has a new website.  Which I would not order from, because I don't trust her one bit.

Thanks Kelly!  Like many here money is tight and I wouldn't want to chance it.  the computer excuse was pretty feeble since she could have made good when people contacted her.

Except she stopped answering the phones and then had them disconnected.  Which made it difficult for people to contact her.

I find it hard to imagine any business would not back up its information regularly, so I can't see how hundreds of orders would be lost, anyway.

 She states that she has an all new facility, warehouse and IT dept but her address is the same and when you call the numbe you are only able to leave a message and never receive a return call. There is currently several complaints being filed against her with the BBB. If you want the latest on it check out Melting Mamma's blog... She's been posting about her struggles with them daily.

Thanks for the warning Kelly! I'm still new to all this so i'm glad i clicked on this post. So far I find everything I need at Walmart, Rite Aid, and Apple Crate so I have yet to go anywhere online for my proteins, etc. I think I heard about that other site mentioned and stuff like that makes me wary of ordering stuff online. I'm just glad I can buy my stuff at stores.

Do you know of any legit sites that can be trusted? I'd like to look into it. Thanks. :)

 I have had good luck with Bariatric Advantage and Celebrate and Vitalady.com.

I order from Bariatric Advantage a lot.  During  my most recent order their server did crash.  I called them and they ended up sending me 3 free items for my trouble and they took their time with me on the phone to make sure the order was right.
