No date yet, not until after I lose the 20. To be honest I'm afraid it'll be the hardest weight to lose!

Hi if you don't mind me asking which insurance company are you with? I have BCBS Illinois and my surgeon [emoji40] has approved it and states the insurance only requires a pysh an d nutrition class. I see others on here with the same insurance that say they have a 6 month diet and exercise. Im in Georgia so maybe it varies by state.

You may want to call the number on the back of your card and ask what the criteria is to be sure. I did find this info though

      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.
