I'm new to this n because I'm disabled but not approved on my pending financial business, I can't afford the shakes on my own. Is there any help out there?? My insurance covers everything else....

What shakes are you referring to, Protein Shakes? What does your nut/surgeon require? You can buy Premier Protein ready to drink shakes for around $1 a piece from warehouse club stores... or $1.50-$2 a piece from Kroger.

There is an ad on this site for Insure Nutrition. I haven't used them but I believe some on here have. You might contact them and see what help they can offer.

Speak with your surgeon's office, they maybe have samples they can give you. You mentioned your disabled, if you have a social worker or case worker they should be able to find a source of funding for you.

Carnation no-sugar added Breakfast essentials are relatively reasonably priced (except you make them with milk so you need to include the cost of milk). When you talk to your surgeon's office see if they are on the approved list.

Maybe you could ask your Bariatric team if there is a Protein shake available that is prescription covered.

I know that a neighbor of mine gets Boost and Ensure monthly delivered after her MD wrote a script for it.

Worth a call, right?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
