So I have my 2nd visit with the surgeon next week. On that day I will also meet with the dietician and have my Psych eval. My insurance only requires 3 month visits so next month will be my last appointments. I’m extremely nervous about having my weight checked because I can’t gain any weight during this 3 months per insurance. Now I quit smoking 8 days ago and I just feel like I have gained weight due to snacking. I took Chantix for 2 days and didn’t like the side effects so I’m pretty much winging this cold turkey.

Did anyone gain weight between the first and second dr. visit ?

I only had the one doctor visit. Good luck!

Your doctor will consider that you're quitting smoking when evaluating your weight.

You're doing 2 wonderful things for your body at once! That's great!

Good luck! You are not alone.

From what I understand my dr only submitted my initial weight and my last visit weight. I’d check with your surgeons office. If it’s the same for you it will set your mind at ease to know a little fluctuation is not going to derail you as long as that final weigh in is at or under goal

      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.
