I used Premier Protein. To be honest, they were delicious before surgery but after surgery I can barely stand to drink them. As for tips for pre-op I dont have much.... Im a very competitive person, so even though the battle was in my own head, I went into it like a battle. When I was tempted I would ask myself 'who's gonna win this thing... The old you or the happier new you?' Everyday that passed got easier and my confidence got stronger. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Hi there. I used Dr. Procter at Betline Surgical (formally Buckhead Surgical). Who are you using? Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Pre-op diet is challenging but Im convinced its mostly a 'mind' thing. I actually enjoyed the Protein shakes, they helped me feel really full. I kept away from the restaurants and stocked my fridge early. I also practiced on and off for a couple weeks prior to pre-op start. What kind of pre-op diet did your surgeon give you?

Hey hun @@anndriar15 ! Im doing well thanks for asking. Im a little down because my tastebuds changed soooo drastically and to be honest..All this sh!t Im trying to eat is nasty now.

Has anyone tried getting Premier shakes free from insurenutrician.com? I was happy to find that my insurance covers them so I now get them free. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Excellent question... Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Im curious... Even if you communicated with the supervisor as they ask.. Couldnt you just tell her the same thing "I had a procedure my doctor certified was medically necessary and im returning on _____ date?" Im not sure I'm clear on the problem? Im also out on FMLA so any insight is helpful. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App
