I've experiment and love the Premier Protein shakes but don't think they are financial fiscal on the pre-op but going to grab some for the post op since it'll take a bit longer to go thru. How are you doing today?

I will look into trying the premier Protein Shakes. I'm doing ok so far today just in a little pain because I have lupus and fibromyalgia (hopeful I'm not going into flare up)I was really stressing out about starting this that I didn't really go shopping for anything was procrastinating. But I can't put it off any longer. So I'm heading to Walmart today. How are you doing today?

Did you see if your insurance will cover the cost? If you haven't already try out www.insurenutrition.com. I get 4 chocolate Premier Protein boxes (18 shakes in each box) per month at $0 to me through my insurance. I also get Vitamins and other things my dr prescribed.
Insureneutrition sends a list of stuff, your doctor will write prescriptions for whatever they feel you should get.
EDIT: I am in my second month Pre-Op getting deliveries, so my insurance covers it even before surgery.

I didn't know about this. How amazing! I'm going to give this a try for sure. . THANK YOU SO much for the info ;)

Oh man. . A flare would be a bummer. Hope that's not the issue. I've only tried the chocolate ones and really like them but hear Carmel is also very good. I can't find any where I'm at tho. I don't start my 10 day liquid until end of the month. Hope I'm strong enough

I hope your insurance will cover as much as mine, if not at least some to help you with the costs. I learned about it in this forum, so I owe it to everyone else here to yell it from all the rooftops...

The cheapest place I've found is Costco/Sams/BJs for the Premier shakes. costco is the only place I can find my favorite flavor-Carmel- in an 18 pack. I've already been doing 2 shakes per day and eat one low carb meal for the past month. My dr requires 2 week liquid diet but my pre op weight loss has exceeded my goal so I only have to do one week. I'm currently on day 4, surgery in 4 days........

I have A 10 day liquid only diet and scheduled Sept. 7th I'm a little worried, thinking this might be the toughest part but reminding myself it's only temporary [emoji6]

My surgeon only requires a 2 week low carb diet. But I did have to go 3 months no smoking. And yes there is a urine test for that. Sucked but I did it and got my surgery date for sept 11.

I found the Carmel at costco. They have 18 pack on sale this month for $20. I like the vanilla too. Haven't tried the strawberries and cream or the banana. By the way, I had to order online because the stores in my area don't carry Carmel or strawberry.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
