Hey!! I am hoping to resurrect this thread :) I am having my surgery next Wednesday (jan20th) in Boise. I will be traveling from the other side of Burley so we will staying a couple nights before surgery. It's a little strange going so far from home to have surgery. Any surgery I have had before was near family or friends.

Hi there - I live in Boise and had the sleeve surgery back in June. I am sure it'll go great, just remember to sip that Water afterward and move around as much as you can to work out any gas. You got this!

I personally like the Isopure zero carbs line of protien drinks, I got an Amazon Prime membership as all the supplements etc. we need are good priced, great selection and most two day shipping for free.

Dr Valentine is doing mine and I go to the twin falls meetings. This month was my first and it was fantastic.

Had my first consult with Dr. Valentine yesterday. I have a few hoops to jump through for insurance approval. Hopefully I will be able to have surgery in about four months. Wish it was today. Nervous and excited. Anyone else out there in the same situation?

How many weeks before surgery did dr. Valentine have you on a liquid diet? Just wondering. Thanks.

Boise sleevers ?? I am a month or so from sleeve surgery with Dr. Korn. I am becoming too anxious or Ansy,I am so excited to get started. Even though I am eating over 60 grams of Protein and over 64 oz of Water. Already changed,my coffee routine down to one cup. Homemade Creamer sugar free Syrup and fat/reg 1/2 of each half and half. Going out to eat. Makes it easy in a lot of places have calorie count. Tilapia is my new favorite food grilled in the oven with seasoning. Sliced avacado and pico,lemon. I am having no loss though. I do know I need more activity's to be involved with

      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.
