Have you tried these clear protein “shakes”? There are a couple flavors. Cheapest at Sam’s club but also found on amazon

I really like them. He explained all the options very well and did not try to talk me into anything. It’s a busy office but they always speak to me right away or call back super quick if I have a question. He operates there at Harris and also at Plano surgical center (depending on who is in network for your insurance) -
Found out Sam’s Club carries premier clear protein water.! There’s a $4 off coupon right now [emoji1373] making it almost half price from amazon

Some insurances do require longer nutrition counseling -

I have Aetna insurance I had to write down all of my attempts at weight loss, do 90 days of nutrition counseling, a stress test and a sleep apnea test. -

Dr Bagshahi - his office is attached to Harris Methodist downtown. I didn’t need my family doctor to approve a thing. Bagshahi’s Office does it all -

My surgeon is in Fort Worth and I’m scheduled for 3/29! Happy to chat at any time -
I guess each doctor wants different. Mine gave me a minimum of 75

On the pre-op liquid diet how many calories were you all getting in? I got 80g of protein today but it was only 300 calories. Wondering if that’s anything to be worried about
-
Day 1 of pre-op liquids! [emoji1373][emoji1373] Here I go. I can do this!
-
You’re going to do great!
-
Start my clear liquid pre-op next week. Anyone using Isopure? I’m reading it’s nasty but it has twice as much protein as Premier Clear so....
-
Are you getting more calories on the days you work out? When your body doesn’t think you’re going to replace what you’ve exerted, it hangs on. A good friend of mine had a sleeve 2 years ago and said her loss slowed when she went back to boot camp but it really helped with toning and her body fat % was still dropping, clothes fitting looser, etc.

I have Aetna and they approved my surgery before I even scheduled a sleep study. It was the surgeon that wanted it and I have to bring my CPAP to surgery. Turns out I did have apnea and this machine has resolved my morning headaches and need for a nap!
-
Mine is 3/29 and I started weening myself today by mixing part decaf and part regular. My plan is to be off it before the liquid phase starts on 3/22
-
Hmm I wonder if I’ll get that ?? The doctor’s office so far only told me about wearing the things on my legs for a week to prevent clots...
-
I have genepro and it says 30g per “scoop” ....there is clearly a sticker over the old label! 😳 that does make me nervous now... I should clarify what I’m asking about is the Isopure clear liquid drinks. They say 40g per bottle whereas premier clear says 20g

I do use MyFitnessPal currently but I’m looking for something with a timer to remind me about vitamins etc
-
Is anyone using an app to track water, protein, etc? Curious which ones are liked the best. My surgery is scheduled for 3/29. Paid part of my co-pay yesterday - it’s happening! [emoji4]
-
Definitely just go with your doctor’s list. Each doc does it a little different. For example, I only have to do 7 days but it’s clear liquids (no optifast, no premiere protein)
-
March 29th for me! Excited and nervous. Trying to keep everything straight - considering making a calendar. Thankful I only have to do 7 days of pre-op but it’s clear liquids so no protein shakes 🙈 Time to start messing with unflavored protein + soup I guess. I’ll take any suggestions anyone has!! Also a little concerned that the plan is only 1 day in the hospital. I’m in Fort Worth

Anybody in the Fort Worth, TX Area?

In process with Bagshahi - anyone know if they weigh you when you go do your quest labs? I’m in such a precarious position where I cannot gain or lose in order for insurance to approve. It’s making me crazy! Lol
