Well, here I go!!! My 3 hour appointment is this afternoon. I have turned in all of my "stuff" required by the doc. I am picking up some records of supervised weightloss to add to the pile. I have kept a bra and my favorite skinny pants from the past. I was looking at them last night and I showed my pants to my son. He about fell off his chair. He has never seen me thin. He couldn't believe that they were my pants! I showed my husband my bra, and he couldn't believe I have saved it all these years. I think he is still skeptical as I have tried everything to be able to loose weight. Nonetheless, he is super supportive of the whole thing.

My only stress is my insurance company. We have been with them for 7-8 years, and it is a small employer funded trust. They have always sent things through approval at lightning speed and we have never had a problem getting anything approved, so I am hoping this is the case. I have met all of their criteria, and they have paid all of my claims that I most likely wouldn't have had if I had been thinner.

I am so looking forward to starting my 3 month pre-surgery weightloss that my doc requires. It's not a pre-op thing, they just probably want to see how we follow directions and if we want to exercise. I do both, so that will be a relief for me. I am meeting with the doc and the nut. So EXCITED!!! :D

      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...

        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.
