I am so excited! They called me after submitting my papers on Thursday for my insurance and I have a date to see the surgeon on April 18. I am hoping that this means that day I will get my two week diet to then have my surgery. Is that the procedure? Or will it be more waiting? Either way I am truly excited cause its finally becoming a reality, I have been on this journey since September and hopefully May will be my last day being FAT!

Depends on your surgeon, his schedule, your insurance...many factors. I was self pay, so they pretty much said..."when do you want to schedule it for??" I traveled to Dallas, saw the surgeon and had surgery 3 days later. Every doc operates differently. If your BMI is lower, you probably won't have to do a 2 week diet. (mine was 55, so I did have to) Some only require 3 days or 1 week. You'll have to see what he says.

      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.
