Finally Got My Surgery Date.....



Recommended Posts

I go in July 18 & I'm feeling almost every emotion at this point I'm happy, excited, anxious, scared, & super nervous! They didn't really give me much of a pre op diet to follow but, I do have to replace 1 meal a day with whey Protein isolate shakes which tastes as if it's something you are NOT supposed to drink YUK I mean it's not impossible to drink but, only because I have to I'm not loving it but, I'm quite sure I will love when I start seeing a difference in how I feel and how I look.....

Chrissym it's taken me almost a year so far. It's been quite frustrating but it will be worth it once you have the date. And then once those pounds start coming off you will see it was worth it. I too do not have an official date yet. Still working on my last couple of clearances.

Yes it does feel like a long process but, like u said it is definitely worth it I can imagine it would be really frustrating waiting almost a year but, I just look at it like its a start into a new life I been waiting almost all my life to lose all my weight what's a few more months or couple of years to get to my goal weight?! Good luck to u on the rest of your journey!

Chrissym it's taking so long because I had to go for the 6 months of checkins with my dr then I had to wait for my insurance company to authorize the surgery before I could even start the clearances. Now that I have the authorization things are moving along very quickly. I will hopefully have a date within the next couple of weeks.

      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.
