Yes, I am taking everything thru pre-op diet. As soon as I can start keeping down the shakes, I'll resume the Thrive as well. I'll be breaking open the pills and putting them in a shake to begin with, then whatever is puréed till I can take them regularly again. Just had this discussion with my bariatric nurse today. Start my pre-op liquids on Friday! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I LOVE my Thrive! I asked my nutritionist about it and she was happy to hear I was taking it and glad that it's in shake form. Vitamins in pill form make me sick, but my Thrive shakes are very agreeable with my tummy (I'm pre-surgery). And yes, it's really helped with my hair and it contains Probiotics which has kept me from having diverticulitis flair ups. I plan to continue Thrive after surgery because it's done so much good for me and my husband the last two years. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I was so disappointed that we had another procedure not covered by Tricare that I picked up my employer's insurance for one year. Then right after I did that, Tricare started covering it. I'm still glad I did because there aren't any doctors close to me that will accept it. However, they do accept my employer's insurance. Now I have Tricare as a secondary, and I'm not paying much of anything for the procedure. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
