Protein shakes post op and protein water
odontask replied to odontask's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for your input. I do have premier shakes for pre op but it's too much sugar for post op. i wasn't aware they made low sugar ones I'll have to check that out -

How long did it take for your insurance to approve you?
odontask replied to ElleBJ's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have blue cross blue shield of Massachusetts and they took about 3 weeks. After the appointment with my surgeon, his schedulers make the appointments 4 weeks for everyone who sees him that day out as a default, even if you're approved sooner. My surgeon met with 4 people as group and then we all see him one on one and get scheduled for the same block of surgery times unless he finds a complication. I've heard that the Tufts health plan is difficult to be approved for and their evaluation is lengthy so it always could be worse. Good luck! -
Do you know if any of these can be found at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's?

Protein shakes post op and protein water
odontask posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone. I get sleeved on the 13th of this month at beth Israel deaconess in Boston. I'm on day one of my pre op liquid diet. My pre op exam is this morning at the hospital. About a month ago I saw a recommendation for a popular post op low sugar shake that was still tasty and went down easy but since can't find that posting, even with the search function. I also saw on this forum someone mentioning protein water. May someone who has already succeeded with this and liked what they purchased let me know what they did? Just wanting to be proactive and get my Amazon order in. Thanks -

Can anyone recommend a good tasting brand? My 1st day of my liquid diet is today along with my pre op and it's too late for Amazon. One thing I will say is that I am looking forward to not spending so much money on food. My office orders takeout every day (some days it is paid for). I work in an Italian neighborhood full of yummy restaurants. It is so hard to resist normally but the liquid diet will give me the push to say no. I've even asked the receptionist to leave me off the daily emails. -

Do you want to form a secret group on Facebook for june sleevers? I joined an rny one and was embarrassed because I thought it was for sleeve and I was in the wrong forum. Would like to set up a sleeve group -

Anyone get REALLY scared close to surgery?
odontask replied to char3672's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just scared because I don't have family nearby so if something goes wrong I'm at the mercy of my sister being able to answer her phone 3000 miles away. Other than that I feel it's the right choice. -

odontask replied to ilovecp17's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't worry about it. There are plenty of adults who take medication for that kind of thing at some point in their lives. If they disqualified patients over it, then they probably couldn't make money doing this. -

With my doctors in order for you to fail the psych eval you'd have to either admit to continuing to smoke cigarettes/drugs or if you've been hospitalized for mental health reasons within 1 years time they will say no. Some hospitals might be more lenient or strict but this is what the nurse (that works with the counselor) told me. If you get to do your eval online, even better. Mine was in person
