I'm just going by what my doctor and nutritionist told me. I prefer the Premier Protein, but since that is not an option for this person, I was providing an alternative. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

The Light Start Carnation Instant Breakfasts are good and low in sugar! I hope that helps!

You call the customer service line and ask for the authorization department [emoji4] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in the Auburn area. Where are you? Have you already had surgery? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

I finally got my surgery date! September 6th!! I'm beyond excited to start my life over and have it be better than ever! Are there any other September sleevers in the Massachusetts area? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

I met my surgeon, and I absolutely love Dr. Czerniach! He put me at ease and re-explained everything to me again. Now I'm just waiting to hear from his secretary for a date!! Does anyone have Fallon and know how long it took to get the authorization? I do medical billing, but the doctor takes care of authorizations, not me...

Thank you so much!

I love to bake. The nutritionist has said how many grams of sugar is no good post surgery, but I'm bad at math (lol) and not sure what that means in baking terms.... I've been finding some great recipes and don't know if I'll be able to have them after surgery. Help please!! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you for the input!!

I finally have my consult appointment on August 7th at 10am with my first choice surgeon!! I'm so ecstatic, I can't contain myself!! Does anyone have any questions I should ask or anything I probably wouldn't think to ask?? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in North Oxford! Still waiting for insurance to clear me even though the doctors did, lol Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you! I think waiting is the hardest part. I've been preparing for 6 months and now I just want a concrete date. I appreciate the advice though!! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app
