Hi I'm new to this as well, did anyone have to lose a certain amount of weight before they had their surgery?

Just about every program has different requirements. Some just have to see a weight loss. Others want to see a percentage (5-10%) loss. Still others it will be one's insurance company that will set the guidelines.

It will all depend on your insurance together with the bariatric team that you have chosen.

My surgeon is requiring that I lose at least 5% of my body weight. I think it doesn't just depend on your surgeon but your weight as well.

  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.
