Have you tried New Whey Liquid Protein instead of the shakes. Each vival has 25 g of Protein. Super easy to get down, tastes like kool~aid. I googled it and found it at DPSnutrician.com at about $23 for 12. Good Luck

Well this is my first post . . . . I do want to Thank all of you for your daily entries. I have devoured this website since I made the commitment to go with a lap-band. I have UHC. My first try at approval was returned denied because my BMI was only 37.6 with several co~morbidities. (Hypertension, PCOS, Infertility, High Trigl., elevated sugar levels and of course zzzzzzzzz snoring:notagree .) I was not going to give up I called the health care line at UHC and their reply was that I needed to gain 18 pounds so my BMI would be 40. My GP physician was infuriated. He has know me for 18 years and since he knew me best he fired off a letter to UHC. (Don't forget your subscriber ID# on the letter or it will never reach your file). I just got my answer yesterday . . . . APPROVED. I guess what I am saying is DON'T give up on getting approved through insurance. I read all the tips on this site daily. Thanks for being there for me. The journey has begun . . . . Surgery Date 5/22/06 Start Weight 240 End Weight 150
