Went to individual assessment today at True Results Atlanta. Received word that since I am 223lbs and 5"5 with a BMI of 37.7 I would qualify, but since I have not visited the doctor in over 7 years and have no history of health related issues I probably would not be approved through my insurance coverage. I do have high blood pressure but I am not taking any meds for it since I dont have a primary care physician. All in all I despise going to the doctor. I guess because I dont want to hear what I already know. This really sucks. I cant afford cash pay, but I am desperate!! Should I just give up and eat my way to a 40+ BMI????:glare:

You should just slouch and put a couple rolls of quarters in your pocket :glare: Layer your clothes too.

Atleast I would.

Definitely see what your BMI is at 5'4" and then wear baggy pants and bend your knees. Looks like you would have to weigh 230 at that height...a half gallon of Water weighs 4 pounds so drink that and eat salty the day before. Also lots of people put small handweights in their bra or in a girdle.....good luck!

If you have high blood pressure you should find a primary care doctor and go to him/her even if you do not like going to the doctor. I knew someone who died because they had high blood pressure and did not go to the doctor because the did not have insurance and could not afford it. At least if you are on blood pressure medication you might have a better chance of getting approved. Good luck,

      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.
