So I am just starting my process. I have began to get blood work in order, sleep study appointments, and things like that together. I don't want to wait 6 months so if I'm approved though my husband's insurance I plan on doing the 3 month plan. It is going to cost some money upfront but I'm going to see if maybe some friends and family can help. In order to get started I have to pay the psychologist, nutritionist, exercise coordinator. Then I have to pay per visit for the next 3 months. The first month will be the hardest cause school is about to start back and my husband just changed shifts so he is making less hours. I was suppose to be working more but that got put on hold. I'm just praying and I know GOD will work it out. I'm pushing to get this done so we can buy our house the first of the year. I can take off work now before the mortgage comes in. Lol

Thank you so much for your kind words. I have had people tell me bad things already and not even encourage me to do what I think is right. workout they say, or what are you eating. It had been 365 plus days and I'm still in the same place I was in last year. Thinking about weight loss surgery. It must be a reason. My dad told me if I would have already done it last year I would already be reaping the benefits. I never thought of it like that. But i really wanted to try it myeslf. Back were I was but moving forward.

      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.
