Not sure if you have a Walmart by you. If you do they have protein shots. 45g of protein per bottle. Its located by the protein shakes.

Congratulations on the loss. I'm schedule d for may 27 starting pre-op on 20th

Tracy are you having to do the two weeks of pre-op? Speedy recovery vibes being sent your way. I already know that I will be in the hospital one night. Best wishes to you toomuchrose. This is a scary yet exciting major event in our lives.

Hello everyone, I have been on the site for a while as a lurker. There is so much good information on this site. After a long wait(seems like forever) I finally got the call to get scheduled. I will be having my surgery done on May 27 in Kansas City. When I got the call to get scheduled I was so happy and did not know who to share it with first. My doctor has changed some of the pre-op diets and only has his patients do a 5 day shake and 2 day Clear liquids. If it was not for me being sick now they could have done it on this Thursday and I would have done 2 days clear. But because I have no voice they won't put me under. I really don't know how to feel. I am happy the day is coming, nervous am I doing the right thing etc. From what I have read here this are all normal and I have been overweight all my life w/many medical issues. Just wanted to share with you all my happy news. Rose

Thanks and I will def listen to my doctor.

Just got my date today. Surgery May 27

Relief57, You are the second person that has told me that. Even the surgery scheduler says it was better for me to be sick now that come down with something right after surgery. Did you have to due 2 weeks pre-op diet? My surgeon use to but now feels that one week is enough but each patient is different. So for me one week is enough....I was wondering how I was going to make it with 2 weeks of liquids. Lisa1999, How do you friend someone?

Thanks Lisa1999, I did not have to go through that. My insurance just required my bmi over 40 and 1 of 3 co-morbid obesity medical issues. I had all 3 plus bmi over 40. My sister in law had to go through months of weigh ins w/nutritional counseling etc. She is scheduled for May 22.

Just wondering if anyone else has Missouri Medicaid? If so how long did it take for approval? It has been nine weeks today. I'm starting to think I won't get my new look on life.

Best wishes and congratulations!

Hello Adrienne, congratulations on your new life. I too am from Missouri. I'm still waiting on approval. What hospital did you have it done? Wishing you the best!
