Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

At the hospital for prep-op testing today. This is getting real now.

It will be fine good luck

I am sitting on pins and needles just staring at the phone at times wishing it would ring and I would have an answer from the insurance company! I am so ready to have a date! Did anyone call to see where the insurance company was in the process? Is it worth it? Will it move them along quicker?

Yes call

Mine is not a full liquid diet' date=' but shakes for

Breakfast and lunch and then protein and veggie (low fat, low carb) for dinner. I started Monday and I'm on it for two weeks. Liquids only the day before Surgery.[/quote']

Im not looking forward to the shakes

Have April 2!!!

Just4me.

Nervous' date=' not worried about surgery...life after??[/quote']

Congrats to you

The glucose control boost isnt that bad as long as its cold lol

Where have you guys been buying your protien for after surgery

Where have you guys been buying your protien for after surgery

I got most of mine from a website called Nashua nutrition. You can order samples for 1.95 each. There are many different brands and flavors. I also ordered from MyBariatricPantry and unjury. I get the Atkins advantage and body fortress from WalMart. I have over 100 samples for after surgery, so I'd say I'm ready!

I ordered samples from myBariatricpantry.com it arrived at my house in just 2 days. They have tons to choose from. I also found some at the Vitamin Shoppe!

Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I havent even started I have looked at those websites but it so overwhelming I dont know what protien to do

I ordered unjury because i heard it is the most tolerable after sutgery. Protein drink have not bothered me before, but some are foamy and I did not think that would go down well.

You can get a lot of Amazon once you decide what you like it's a lot cheaper they have some on subscribe & save and you don't have to pay shipping even if you cancel after you get it

I like the nectar after surgery fruit flavors there not as heavy I still drink in the morning one mixed with skim milk like chocolate Truffle vanilla bean or double stuffed cookie all from Nectar those are also good mixed in plain Greek yogurt and lots of protein

Do you know if the surgeon will give you samples

Sometimes the nut gives you some here's a phone 866-333-7403 you can get 10 Nectar samples for $13.99 it's cheapest I found

You can call Bariatric Advantage and Fusion both will send samples and Vitamin samples Unjury will send samples to your dr office if you call them there's are good also they have a chicken soup and cheese proteins that are good also a unflavored there's several others just google bBariatric proteins a lot of company's will send free samples
