You can call your insurance too and tell them that you are scheduled for Tuesday. They usually are really nice about seeing about getting an approval IF they are going to approve.

Thanks! I am going to call them for sure tomorrow. I was told that I wouldn't get an answer before Monday which in my head just meant that no matter the outcome, I was going to have to follow my Pre-op instructions this weekend (which I have) since my surgery is scheduled for Tues. So, today I did a liquid diet and took magnesium citrate. Tomorrow will be just Clear liquids. I suppose the positive way to look at it is that it's all good prep work. And it will help me towards my goal.

Trying to find a good Protein shake still any ideas? Being banded thrus.

Atkins advantage. Mocha, cafe Carmel and strawberry are really good.

The Slim-Fast, Boost, Ensure, Adkins, and Muscle Milk have too many calories/grams of sugar and not enough protein! Unjury and Syntrax Nectar brands have really high amounts of Protein and little to no calories/grams of sugar! And they taste AWESOME!

Recommendations:

Syntrax Nectars in Double Stuffed Cookie (taste like a Cookies and cream shake. . .no after taste!)

unjury unflavored- you can mix into anything (drinks, Soups, parties, mac n' cheese, name it you can mix it in)

Doesn't change the taste our texture of foods. . . Way way to get in Protein without even thinking about it!

BTW- Syntrax Nectars have 25 calories, 0 sugars and 23 grams of Protein per serving!

Unjury has 90 calories, 0 fat and 21 grams of protein per serving!

Just not approved in time. Likely because of the holiday and offices being closed.

Hello everyone well it's over, I am back home now resting in bed and walk around my place by far the gas is the biggest problem but walking to seems to help a lot. now that the gas its subsiding a little bit I can feel the port and it cuts now. If anybody is wondering this reminds me of doing way too many sit ups then a couple days after that. so far sipping broth and clear liquids is plenty. Take care everyone I'll try to update later today, I hope everyone is doing well.God bless.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
