I'm new to this n because I'm disabled but not approved on my pending financial business, I can't afford the shakes on my own. Is there any help out there?? My insurance covers everything else....

What shakes are you referring to, Protein Shakes? What does your nut/surgeon require? You can buy Premier Protein ready to drink shakes for around $1 a piece from warehouse club stores... or $1.50-$2 a piece from Kroger.

There is an ad on this site for Insure Nutrition. I haven't used them but I believe some on here have. You might contact them and see what help they can offer.

Speak with your surgeon's office, they maybe have samples they can give you. You mentioned your disabled, if you have a social worker or case worker they should be able to find a source of funding for you.

Carnation no-sugar added Breakfast essentials are relatively reasonably priced (except you make them with milk so you need to include the cost of milk). When you talk to your surgeon's office see if they are on the approved list.

Maybe you could ask your Bariatric team if there is a Protein shake available that is prescription covered.

I know that a neighbor of mine gets Boost and Ensure monthly delivered after her MD wrote a script for it.

Worth a call, right?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
