My entire surgery is out of pocket. My blue Cross wouldn't cover anything unless my BMI was higher and or had a number of health complications. Fortunately for me, but not so fortunate for my savings account, I am chubby but otherwise healthy. :thumbup:

I am scheduled for a 9:00 am surgery. I am very excited. I just worked my last day & don't have to be back to work until early January! I made it through Thanksgiving dinner celebrations without giving in to temptation, but finding the "polite" happy medium & trying most everyone's dishes they worked so hard on. I have been trying to get into to the "eat slowly, chew everything thoroughly" habit & I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised. The 1 cup meals are actually going to be fine. I was finished the same time as everyone else & felt perfectly satisfied.

      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.
