So i went to the doctor not i'm waiting on insurace

most likely i'm approved.I am not buying lots of veggies and protien.. omg the doctor wants be to drink slim fast, even though it don't taste too bad. it makes me potty..lol

instantly maybe thats why it called slim fast. anyways do anyone else have any protien ideas?

Well, I think it is important to listen to you doctor and Nut. What does suprise me is that they want you to have Slimfast which is relatively low in protein for the calories. Protein makes you feel full longer. I might ask them if you can consider Whey Isolate Protein ready to drink shakes or powder (and make your own).

How long will they keep you on slimfast?

Many doctors require a % of weight loss before the surgery. Mine required I loose 10% before they scheduled the surgery. I did get insurance approval 2 weeks after first consult.

Many doctors have people do a presurgery liquid diet for 1-2 weeks to help shrink the liver. Mine told me to continue what I was doing as I was loosing on my own.

My doc has me on Opti-Fast. Each RTD shake has 17G of Protein. You need the protein so that you can no feel hungry. I am on Day 2 of the drinks. I feel crappy due to the lack of caffeine and carbs but i just need push through the next 2 weeks. Surgery scheduled for the 23rd.
