Yes.....

I have a Nutribullet so I know I can make these shakes.

Thank You So Much!!!

Thank You!

Did you all add water or milk to the protein? I also purchased the sample pack but have yet to try them!

Could you give me the recipe for the Protein shakes you are mentioning..

Hello guys!!! I am having surgery 3/04.. I am on day 5 of pre-op liquid diet!! This is hard???? But I have not cheated.... I'm too afraid it will not be a good idea... But during pre-op education class a man scheduled for 02/11 asked could he eat a salad, and they told him he could eat one!!!!! Two days before surgery and the gave him a prescription to I guess eliminate it....

Hey guys... I am on day 2 of my liquid diet... It is an experience I am hanging in there.. I dont know if any of you guys are vlogging your journeys on You Tube, but I am... If you want to know a little bit more about my experience subscribe @ niecyb31!!! I was a little leery about exposing my experience, but there is a great wealth of information on there.... We are almost on THE LOSERS BENCH!!!!

I will try this one..

I have been taking vitamins :-) I think its a good way to put yourself on the schedule that we will need to make to ensure that we have the needed ones taken daily.

We were told during pre-op educational class, that we should not consume no more than 100 carb per day.. No more than 20 carbs per meal...

We have the same surgery date... YAY!!!!

Hello Everyone!! My surgery date is March 4th... I start my pre-op diet Monday Feburary 18th... Good Luck to everyone!!

Sounds yummy!! I must try this!!

No... I am from Mississippi....Have you had your psych and other pre op lab work?

I will be praying for you. The nutrition and psych eval is going to be a breeze. After your consultation on Tuesday.. You will be good to go.. After your psych and nutrition is done.. They will submit to insurance.... You will be fine.

I am loving premier protein - vanilla and chocolate, syntha 6 - vanilla ice cream, and Muscle Milk- Chocolate. I use the Hood lo-fat milk, ice, torani syrup and some frozen fruit and put it in my Nutribullet and it is very good... I use silk soy milk at times....

I have my education classes on Feb. 5!! We are destined to get to know each other.. :D . I know how you feel about the financial obligations... But make sure to ask them if they will take payments... They may work with you.. Each hospital is different.... I wish you luck!! Also, I know you are happy you did not have the six month waiting period.... That is the longest wait time.

IKR!!!!

Congrats to you on your NSV!!!! I cannot wait until I am able to comfortably cross my legs!!

This is my total obligation and Yes they want it upfront.. My surgery date is 03/04/2013..

My surgery finacial obligation is $3500.00. I feel that it will be worth every penny.

I received a call from my bariatric coordinator yesterday while in the gym and she informed me that March 4,2013 is my tentative surgery date!!! What do I need to do at this time? I am sooo nervous and happy at the same time! What did she mean by tentative... She told me that this is the earliest date that I can be scheduled... I asked her but I became so nervous when she called that I didnt want to ask too many questions... I have not received a letter from my insurance company yet.. Do I need to call them? Please for anyone that is past this stage please help me!! Thanks...
