Cigna approved my lap band surgery Hip Hip Hooray! I am going to meet the surgeon on February 26. I cannot wait :smile:

By the way, I have to be on liquid Protein diet + one lean cuisine meal for 2 weeks then 4 liquids diet (no solid) for the week before surgery.

Any advice on which Protein Drink will not make you hungry that much? What I need to prepare before I see the surgeon and the dietitian?

Any recommendations is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Alisa

It is finally your turn! I carry Cigna too, and know about the long process!

As for favorite shakes, I found the slim fast to be my favorite. I had Optifast and slimfast and seemed to always go for the slimfast.

I found the first three days VERY hard, but then, it became easy - I was not allowed a lean cuisine, only liquids. I stuck to it, and the surgeon was very pleased at the size of my liver on band day!

Good luck to you!

I liked the Atkins shakes.< /p>

Cannot offer my own personal opinion on the shakes but the Nutritionalist mentioned Designer whey powder. She said it taste the best. I plan to purchase this when I get to the point you are at. I still have 3 more months of weigh ins. Congratulations. Best of luck.
