Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!

Insurenutrition.com they sponsor this site. My Surgeon's office wouldn't sign the script my PCP did no questions asked. The scar cream is working very well too. The Premier Protein go down easier than Water to me the vanilla and chocolate are pretty good.

My Surgeon's office sells overpriced Vitamins and shakes that they want you to buy from them for the rest of your life. So yes they aren't going to sign for me to get free stuff. My PCP who cares about me and my welfare and doesn't sell vitamins and shakes signed it right away. I could be wrong but it seems to me that they get your insurance co to pay for the cream which is expensive and the shakes/vitamins are a gift. They take what your insurance pays and discount your copay amount, so you never pay anything. I could be wrong but that's my take on it.

I never crushed pills either. chewable the first month then regular swallowing whole ones worked fine.

& yes to whoever asked- my hair is thinning(& it was thin & fine to start). I will try the Biotin if not too late, I have been getting my 60 gms of Protein faithfully, but not helping. I am 11 weeks out from surgery.

I never thought about asking my PCP! My surgeon's office does not sell any kind of vitamins or shakes, but thinks the program is a scam. They said because my main source of nutrition comes from food, they can't legally prescribe the shakes or something like that. I'm so glad yours worked out for you, because the shakes are expensive! I buy an 18 pack at costco for about $23, and drink a shake a day. Side note: For anyone else who buys them from Costco, they are going to be $5 off starting Dec 30!!!

For those of you worried about hair loss, the medical name for diffuse Hair loss following a physical stress like surgery is "telogen effluvium". That may be a useful search term.

Thank you! I searched it, and it made me feel better there is already more hair underneath!

Today was a good day; I finally fit into the first set of my old jeans that I had "grown out of" and can thus now finally get rid of my last pair of dowdy old-lady jeans that were the only thing I could find in my size.

CUTE JEANS AGAIN! HOORAY!!!!!

[Peekboo 472]

Yay, so happy for you.
