mine was done as outpatient surgery also but it was also going to be 48 to 72 hours before I checked out of the hospital if every thing went ok.

I am almost 4 weeks out & use GNC products. i think the lean shakes they have are good & have 25 gr of Protein i have been drinking the swiss chocolate & pumpkin. i also drnk their isopure Protein Drink, don't buy a bunch of i flavor till you try them. the store i use will let you try a taste before you buy.

do you need to talk to people 1 on 1?

I am 59 year old male. when I started this journey I weighted 364lbs. get ins coverage & requirements in writing. I started this journey in 2014. have high blood pressure(2 meds) type 2 diabetes(2 pills & Lantus shots twice daily, high cholesterol(1 pill) shortness of breath, joint pain(knees mainly) & slept on a cpap machine. didn't do it for my vanity. thought it would happen in early 2015. insurance then wanted a 6month diet after telling me it wasn't required. finally got clearance in early dec, 2015. ad to go on 1 week liquid diet. I ask surgeon about blood sugar dropping during this time & he told me to eat something. weight on Christmas day was 330 surgery was on 12/28/2015. didn't have pain from surgery, just felt something inside. pain came from the bed being too short, I am 6'4". no problems in surgery, took them a little long to wake me up, worried my wife. quit pain meds the day I came home from hospital. I started eating ice just after I woke up. worst part besides bed was sore throat from tube that was down my throat. ice & pain meds helped with both. have had no problems drinking or eating. only time I felt pain from drinking was when I got stupid & not thinking gulped 4oz of milk. I get a weird felling when I get close to my eating amounts. feel to ask any questions, I don't think I am a good person to ask about problems, due to not having many. good luck. when I weighted on 1/17/16 I was down to 292

you need to call them & get them to send it to you on paper. I had called them 4 or 5 times & each time they told me all I needed was a recommendation from pcp. then I finished all the other things for the surgeon & paper work was submitted the came backing wanting diet (6 month) details & dates. I had ask them about the diet on each phone call & they said none was required. I had bcbsm ins.
