WooHoo! I just had the best cottage cheese ever. It may be because I have been on liquids for 9 days.

Oh ya! I walked 3.5 miles today and it felt good. I hit 271 today and I'm hoping to be in the 260's tomorrow.

Is it a private page? I didn't see it come up in search. I am a member of 2 other Facebook pages, men and women both on there. They are both private so the info/postings do not show up on your personal FB page.

Hey everyone, I need some advice/help plz!!! :). My surgeon no longer goes to IU, he's only at St V now. IU has a very intense program pre surgery, which I'm doing well on. However, I really love my Dr. If I go to St V, it will be out of network and more $, but I think I'm willing to pay for my surgeon vs IU's program. I'm nervous that if St V program isn't as intense, that I won't do as well in the long run. Thoughts, advice???

I think you will do just fine with St V. I have come thru their program, I've lost 90lbs in 7 months. The support groups are wonderful, so are the nutritionist. What I've learned is its all what you put into it. They give you the keys, you gotta drive the car :)

What does IU do that is really intense? I chose ST.V, mainly because of insurance but am pretty happy with their program. but i admit, i don't know much about IU's program. I am 7 days pre-op! July 1st is my big day. But I've been going to their support groups already an have found them really helpful.

Congratulations on your date! So close! IU makes you do a liver reduction diet, which is literal, and loose weight prior to surgery in addition to the 2-3 group mtgs and NUT appt per month. They drill and drill the stuff in your head so intensely. It could be just my take on it though. It's not bad, I'm just always going to a mandatory meeting if some kind.

I understand! Mandatory is more motivating than non-mandatory! St Vincent's is more what you make of it. NUT and groups available and recommended

My Dr also is switching but since I've already had surgery I'm planning on just staying with IU. Had this happened before surgery I guarantee I would have gone with her. Also if I had it to do all over again I would have started with St.Vincent only because the process is a lot faster there.

      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.
