Countdown to surgery!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I am sooo excited. I start my preop liquid diet in two days. I have a surgery date set for December 30th with Dr. Alvarez in Mexico! I have struggled with my weight for the past 14 years. I am only 33 years old and I know if I want to live a long healthy life this is the best decision I could have ever made for myself and my family. Wish me luck!! I am not nervous at all--- I can hardly wait!:blushing:

Hey Ms J.. Let us know how that liquid diet goes.. I am going to see Dr Alvarez Jan 4th, just for a consult. I have heard many good things about him, but want to meet him first and visit his facility.

Not a bad drive from Houston and have friends in San Antone, so will make it a mini vacation.. What type of drink does he have you on for two weeks. I have been thinking about that and it sounds like it would be hard to stick to.

      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.
