5-6 weeks after surgery seems to be typical

My doc will ONLY do them 6 weeks apart from each other beginning at week 6 post op. I had to have an unfill at my last appt. and now I'm starving and eating all kinds of crap (old habits creeping back) and they still are making me wait the damn 6 weeks

My surgeon won't let us go more than a month without an evaluation. His protocol is 4ccs at 4 weeks out from surgery.

      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.
