Just got the call that they're going to supply me! My surgeons office just needs to fax back a signed prescription. I'm excited! She said they're sending 4 cases of the Premier Protein enough for 2 shakes per day. Idk if that means monthly or if it's a one time deal but I'm grateful either way! Everyone really should give this a go you never know what your insurance company will cover. :)!

I receive them monthly...4 cases (with 18 drinks each) + Vitamins + scar cream. I have about 8 drink cases that I haven't opened yet. :) I'm good for awhile. My prescription was for 6 months, so I should get just one more case. So whatever you surgeon signed for your prescription is how much you'll receive. I think the first order has a copy of the prescription in it. You could always email InsureNutrition and ask.

I originally got two cases of vanilla and 2 of chocolate, but I like chocolate better, so I switched to all chocolate.

The first two months they provided liquid Vitamins that I thought was fine, but I'm sure many people don't like it. Very citrus-y. Months 3-6 is chewable vitamins.

There was so much scar cream that I could've used just the first one they sent and never run out. I tossed the rest. I'm not sure if they're still sending it as I have 2 shipping boxes I haven't opened yet.

Someone posted a picture that scar cream is costing your insurance company thousands of dollars the price i saw was over $6,000. If you don't need it please call the company and tell them to stop sending it. You're causing your insurance company to spend money it doesn't need to considering you threw it out.

Don't waste your time with them. They claimed that the doctor never faxed over a prescription. After several tries & going back and forth I gave up & said never mind. They called a month later & said they didn't receive the prescription & they couldn't help me. Smh...

Apparently they faxed the scripts to my dr.

I'll give the company a call to see if they got them. I'll be wicked bummed out if they give me the run around

They could also just include the Protein and Vitamins for "free" as long as the insurance company covers the scar cream. That is what they did for me until I found out the cost of the cream and stopped the service. At that point they told me the protein and vitamins weren't covered but they included them as long as I got the scar cream.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
