Thanks! It's the Losing part that's the hardest...isn't that why we're here in the first place. I know it's to prepare your liver for surgery...makes it easier to get it out of the way but' date=' yeesh 20-24 pounds is alot. I'm trying though!

I'm going to try out the chat if anyone is interested :)

By the way I'm going through Tufts Medical Center's Weight and Wellness Center in Boston[/quote']

Hi. That is where I went. I had Dr Julia Kim. She is awesome. When is your surgery?

I am almost 6 yrs out. Just do exactly what they say and you will be amazed at the results. Just remember Protein first!!! And. Chew chew chew..... :D

Hi I'm from Ma I had my surgery at Tufts Medical in Boston. I am 6 yrs out and wanted to go to meetings in the area. I tried to go to Tobey's and they said I could not join their groups because I did not have the surgery there..... So I have started my own. I have taken a leadership program from Obesity Help and I have meetings at the Sr Citezen Center in Fairhaven Ma We are on break until September. We meet the second Saturday of the month at 9:30. Right now we are a small group but we are there helping each other. Support groups are very important from the get go. All are welcome. If interested please let me know.

Niecie

I just heard today, after calling my insurance company myself, that my surgery has been approved. YAY! I'm going to Tufts Medical Center in Boston and the last I heard my surgery is scheduled for July 11. My woman who does the scheduling for my surgeon went home early today so I'll call again tomorrow to confirm.

Thanks Don. Surgery date is definitely 7/11. They offered me 7/3 but, I already had everything set at work for 7/11 so that wouldn't of worked.

Each insurance has their own requirements. Mine required 3 months of supervised dieting but, a ton of history with your PCP. 4 years worth of weights, letter from pcp, surgeon's letter and explanation of what she's doing, diet plan history, health work-ups etc. I've been working on this since Oct of last year when I started with a different group. The group that did my lapband. But then switched to this group and started this process in March. Very thankful it's finally approved. 3 weeks for you will come quick Don!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
