I started back in august looking for a dr and oct met dr paragi I am scheduled for sleeve January 27th :) excited but scared. The office seems to be very I organized but as thy told me they have new staff cause he separated from previous practice. Long terms the dr has great plans for his building to have all testing done there unfortunately we are the first ones to office setting and they are working kinks out with is. It does seem that dr paragi is nice and well known within medical field. Getting ready for pre surgery diet : sugar free pops and Jello, broth, clear Protein and Water maybe w crystal light. I have been cutting down portion sizes and meals already so I hope it doesn't effect my Migraines too much. Biggest worry is watching my one ur old after procedure she is at that needed stage :)

I'm still experimenting with Protein supplements and shakes myself but I have tried EAS and Premier Protein and I like both a lot. You can buy either at Walmart, costco or BJ's. I'm planning on just drinking those, Water, broth and crystal light during my pre op diet. I have no idea how I'm going to survive on just shakes and Water but we can do it! Haha

Sleeved at Valley 12/23 by Beth Schrope. Hospital is great, all private rooms. She's fantastic! Worst pain I've had was getting through the 2 week preop diet LOL I'm so ready to dump the purées and get on to some real "chewing"!

Best wishes to all on your journey ☺️

After trying lots I found the Premixed Pure Protein the best for me. I add some sugar free Tirani Syrup to switch up the flavors. Got the holiday collection from Amazon which includes peppermint ginger snap hazelnut and caramel. Not only great in Protein drinks but awesome in coffee ????

      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.
