I'm new to this n because I'm disabled but not approved on my pending financial business, I can't afford the shakes on my own. Is there any help out there?? My insurance covers everything else....

What shakes are you referring to, Protein Shakes? What does your nut/surgeon require? You can buy Premier Protein ready to drink shakes for around $1 a piece from warehouse club stores... or $1.50-$2 a piece from Kroger.

There is an ad on this site for Insure Nutrition. I haven't used them but I believe some on here have. You might contact them and see what help they can offer.

Speak with your surgeon's office, they maybe have samples they can give you. You mentioned your disabled, if you have a social worker or case worker they should be able to find a source of funding for you.

Carnation no-sugar added Breakfast essentials are relatively reasonably priced (except you make them with milk so you need to include the cost of milk). When you talk to your surgeon's office see if they are on the approved list.

Maybe you could ask your Bariatric team if there is a Protein shake available that is prescription covered.

I know that a neighbor of mine gets Boost and Ensure monthly delivered after her MD wrote a script for it.

Worth a call, right?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
