Finally! One step closer ~ any advice?



Recommended Posts

I just got word today that my insurance company approved my surgery! I guess my insurance company is notorious for denying so I'm super relived. Now I am waiting to hear from scheduling to find out when I will finally be going under the knife. It's been a long road getting here and I know there's more to come but I'm happy that I'm now closer to my goal. Now I need to prepare for the special pre-surgery diet. My doc requires a high Protein, low carb diet two weeks before had and liquid diet three days prior to surgery. Anyone have any advice about how I should prepare? Thank you!

Congrats Brandy25.. I wish I could give advice also but I have a thread going now because some surgeons don't require a preop diet. I know my nutritionist had advised I get use to Protein Drinks, Water, broth, and such but never a strict diet . maybe I'm speaking to soon. I have preop appt on the 7th for surgery on 18th and maybe I'll be told about the diet then. Its like my brain has a bajillion things going on since I scheduled my date.. Ugh !!

      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...

        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.
