I started a clinical study at Pennington Biomedical Research 1 1/2 years ago for weight loss. Just after I started the study in January 2012 my husband passed away. The psychologist recommended I delay my surgery in May 2012. Then for the next year I jumped over hurdle after hurdle that came up to delay my surgery. There's too many to list. Then I finally got the phone call a week ago that I can schedule my surgery. My surgery is scheduled for August 27th. I feel like I'm waiting another 1 1/2 years. I work for the state of Louisiana. Blue Cross is working with Pennington to conduct the study. Our Blue Cross plan does not currently cover the surgery, but my surgery will be paid for through the study. Hopefully this study is successful so that BC will cover it in the surgery. Thanks for reading this long intro.

      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.
