Slight correction.... My Dr. Is $900 and my 10% for the hospital is $900.... So almost $2,000 total.

When I'm all done, I will have paid about $1,000.00. My insurance pays 90%. My Dr., however, offers lifetime nutrionist and exercise trainer visits.... So that should be all that i pay- ever.

Well, I was really hoping to find more recipes in this group. . I may not have a true recipe, but I found something to make Protein Shakes a little more palatable. I'm only on my third day of the pre-op diet. The first day I thought "these Protein shakes are actually pretty good". The next day I thought "well, at least they're not THAT bad". Then today I'm thinking "how in the world am I ever going to live off these things?"????? Then I had an idea. I put some peppermint extract in my chocolate shake. To my surprise it made it so much better! Tomorrow I'm going to try banana in vanilla, and others. I'll let you know how it goes!

Congrats! I'm in the Salt Lake area and am scheduled for the sleeve on Sept. 18th with Dr. Cottam! Any words of advice for someone just 3days into her pre-op liquids?

Sept. 18th! Anyone else on Clear Liquids for two weeks? I noticed some say clear liquids, but then say they can eat one Lean Cuisine, or two Vegis, fruit, etc. ... I'm talking full liquids!! Jello is as close to food as I get. It's hard to make dinner for my family, sit at the table with them (I'm not willing to lose dinner time with them), and drink a Protein Shake.< /p>
