Hi! Welcome! I had my surgery on 12/28/12. My pre-op started 12/14/12 it was the hardest time of the year for me. I had holiday "eating" functions that I had already signed up for and paid for prior to my knowing that 12/28 would be my date of my surgery. I could have postponed my surgery until "after" the holidays. Then I thought well for years I'd been saying I'll diet tomorrow or Monday or "after" the holidays. So I figured it's now or never. Anyway, I'm happy I made the decision to have my surgery in December and not wait until "after" the holidays! I did fine at these holiday parties and stuck to my pre-op diet, wishing you much success on your journey.

      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.
