January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

I am not doing well. Today will start for sure, cna't full around with this.

I know we are in the same boat. Tomorrow I'm having a gather at my home to watch the Alabama football game and boy do I hate it. It's out turn to have the event. I could not say no because no one knows about the surgery besides my husband.

Happy New Year to you all from SoCal :)

I'm scheduled for January 6th at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, Ca, with Dr. Miguel Burch. I'm super nervous but ready... except for the part where I need to do 356 things before Monday :0

Good luck to you all!

Not sure if there are side affects for no pre diet. The purpose of the dpre diet is to make the liver more pliable and smaller. I suppose if the liver gets in the way they would either do the surgery open or stop and reschedule.

The pre-op diet is to shrink your liver. They have to lift the liver to get to the stomach under it. The smaller it is the lower the risk of problems. If you are having a laproscopic procedure, it is more important since it has to be moved with tools. Open procedures they can lift it with their hands.

      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.
