WonderSlim & other bariatric focused food products ?!

Hi All -

So I have stumbled upon www.bariatricsource.com and a couple other sites that have high protein/ low carb (and high priced) products that come in perfectly portioned sized products like pancakes, mac n cheese, sloppy joes, etc.  Most of the products are "WonderSlim".  Have any of you every ordered these type of products?  Or is there a particular website or store that can offer portioned sized products that fit with "our" lifestyle? 

I ask this because I am finding myself wasting a TON of food, soups mainly, because I can only eat 1/2 cup and don't necessarily have the taste for the same thing 3-4 times a day for 2 days in order to use all of the soup.  Make sense?

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi there,

I went to the Dollar Tree store and found little two ounce containers with lids that I can pour my soup, beans, etc in and then freeze!  It has worked for me.  I have read where some people used ice cube trays(also available at dollar tree) and when frozen pop them out and put in large freezer bags.  

I have not used those products called "WonderSlim" as I think they are so expensive!  

good luck!

 

I have ordered a few of their products from the website that I get my vitamins from, bariatricchoice.com. I tried their Sloppy Joes, the spicy mac and cheese, and their chicken noodle soup. They were all just okay. But I ordered a sample pack from there that had all of those in there and some other samples too so I didn't feel like I wasted my money. The 1 thing of theirs that I love is their decaffeinated cappuccino. It only has 60 calories and it has 12 grams of protein in it. It taste great with a little sugar free DaVinci syrup added to it.

I love their pancakes and syrup.  Really good.  U can order sample pack.  I like their sloppy joes too. 

I tried some samples of a couple of their products to and thought they were all pretty gross.  They are filled with tons of chemicals and are generally foods that DON'T fit well into a health eating lifestyle.  There is nothing wrong with an occasional indulgence in macaroni and cheese, but IMO it is MUCH healthier to just eat a small amount of the "real" thing than to eat something so incredibly processed. One of my goals when I had this surgery was to eat more "cleanly", eliminating foods that are nothing but a bunch of chemicals.

i guess I don't understand why saving leftover soup is such an issue.  It stays good for quite a while in the refrigerator, so it isn't like you have to eat it all within 2 days or it is going to go bad. Many years ago, I bought a FoodSaver vacuum sealer and I use it a LOT.  I can create small portions of things (either before or after cooking) and they stay fresh for several weeks!  That really helps me minimize the amount of food that I waste, and I am able to save money and put much healthier food into my body.

Dehydrated and over processed foods.   Make your own using real ingredients and freeze. 

I ordered a few things to help stock my pantry in the early days.  THey are way over priced, I think they taste awful and I agree with Lora they are highly processed, chemicals.   They don't fit with the way I want my diet to be, so I don't use them.  I tried the protein pretzels looking for a snack thing to have around....just ok.   The pancakes were horrid to me.   And I tried some of the cheesy chips....ew.    I didn't try any of the meal things, so they might be okay, but really its just easier for me to grill some chicken or fish and at least I know I'm having solid protein and a whole food.

Thank you all so much for your varied opinions!  I am just under 2 weeks post-op and researching to the max in preparation of my final stages.  I ordered a "sampler pack" to try it out, but I am not 100% sure this will work.  I am a very unsure of so much. So I really value all of your opinions.  Thank you,

I ordered quite a few of their products. Thinking it would be good to have them right after surgery. Some of their products taste ok, but ultimately you can get good protein from less expensive ways. I wouldn't waste much money on them :/
