Bari Care by Robard

The week of August the 18th we will be introducing a new and revolutionary product on our Bariatric Food Products website, www.bariatricfoodproducts.com They are Bari Care Vanilla and Bari Care Chocolate Shakes and Bari Care Creamy Custard. In order for any protein supplement designed for bariatric surgery patients to be successful it must have the following characteristics:

1. Protein: It must have the highest protein possible in a single serving. The protein or proteins used must be of the highest quality, without harming or compromising on taste or stability. The serving size, because of intake restrictions, should not exceed 8 ounces.

2. Sugars: It should have the lowest possible sugar content per serving, especially simple sugars.

3. Taste: It must be developed with the understanding that the sensory perception of a post surgery patient will change, and that this change is sometimes dramatic. Taste, mouth feel, smell, texture, ease of swallowing and ease of digestion all have to be taken into consideration if the bariatric patient is to tolerate the supplement, let alone enjoy it.

4. Convenience: It must be portable, and ready to consume immediately, or it must be easy and quick to prepare. In addition, all products must be shelf stable for an extended period of time, minimum 1 year, without refrigeration or difficult storage requirements. Basically, surgery patients must have ready access to protein supplements at home, work, or on the go, to fit with their new lifestyle. They typically do not want to showcase the fact that they need supplements, especially at work, and they do not want to spend an enormous amount of time for preparation and storage.

Our new Bari Care products more than fulfill these requirements in that they can be mixed with 2 ounces, 3 ounces or 4 ounces of water depending on what stage of recovery the patient is in. Each serving contains 20 grams of easily digestible protein, is nutrient dense to prevent macronutrient and micronutrient malnutrition and contains a full complemet of vitamins, minerals and fiber ideal for post surgical nutrition. It has a smooth and creamy texture without a gritty or chalky mouthfeel, no aftertaste whatsoever and meets the published ASMBS suggestions for bariatric nutrition.

We will be taking predelivery orders if you choose to order from our website today. We will fill orders on a first come first served basis and as always all orders will be shipped within 24 hours.
Should you have any questions regarding this new product please call us or send an e-mail and we'll get back to you as soon as we possibly can.
