Frustrated. Need clear answer. Need help.
I'm going to stick with these premeir chocolate ones I got from Costco. Since they have 30g of protein in each I'm just going to have 2-3 a day instead of the six the doctor said to have a day. I hope I'm doing it right. There are 5g carbs in each and 160calories.

Pre Gastric Sleeve Op Liquid Diet: 13 Days To Go. Why Do I Have To Do It For So Long?
I'm on the same diet for 2 wks n without clear direction from my doctor I got so frustrated today after they didn't call back to answer my question that I just ate a whole bunch of junk. I wish someone could tell me how many damn grams of protein I need per shake if the doctor says drink 6 a day. Each one of my drinks has 30g of protein n I don't know if this will b too much in one day. #{%?!^£!!!!!!!!!!

emotional/stress eating
I'm in preop right now on a two week protein shake only diet and I realized I have a major stress and emotional eating problem. I stayed up all night trying to think things through and writing it all down as the urges of my cravings got stronger I sat with the feelings and became more aware of this problem. I am thankful for going through this to get it under control sooner than later.

An opinion
Oh btw call your insurance daily n b on top of the submission process!!!

An opinion
I would think so!!! I got my surgery date apt for just 4 wks after my approval , but that's only cuz my surgeon is out , otherwise it would've been done in just two weeks from approval. My final apt was given to me two days after I got approved btw. If u let them know your situation they will accommodate most likely. Plus, cancellations do happen. ;0) good luck!!!

Hair Loss Finish Line?
Ale, I decided today to cut my hair to my shoulders (myself) from the middle of my back :0/ u r right it will b easier to manage. It'll b like a fresh new start, too. :0) the sad part is I just spent 340$ on permanent hair straightening last week. But I rather not lose my hair more by it being long n tangled ;0) Btw, whoever does laser hair removal... I did it, n it comes back a little several yrs later :0/ just an FYI.
