I got the letter I was waiting for! Approved! I am so excited! I was worried that I did not provide enough documentation for them to do the pre authorization! I am floating on a cloud!

I have Amerihealth NJ through Healthcare.gov.

My surgeon is Dr Samir Patel at Atlanticare. He and his staff have been amazing! My surgery is set for May 2nd. Any May sleevers out there?

I am going to be starting the pre op diet on Monday. It is 2 Protein shakes a day and 1 meal which consists of a protein and vegetables. Then the day before surgery it is clear liquids/proteins.

Does anyone have any suggestions for the clear Proteins? And any suggestions for after when I can have the shakes/powders. I know this question has been asked several times already, sorry.

I have so many things that I can not wait to be able to do after I reach my goal. Zip lining is number 1

Ok, I have rambled on enough. I hope to hear from the veterans and newbies with all of your suggestions!

I have been reading posts on here for a few months and was waiting for approval and a surgery date before I actually joined in!

So glad to have this forum for support!

Cant wait to be on the losers bench!

Congratulations!

In case you didn't get recommendations for clear Protein, I like ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. Bone broth is also a good source of protein that is clear.

Thank you! I have Isopure black tea and New whey protein shots. Those were recommended by my dr.
