  • Have any of you checked with Insure Nutrition to see if your insurance might cover your protein shakes? It takes a little while, but it doesn't hurt to try. The worst that can happen is they say no. Basically, you go to their website and register your info. They'll send prescriptions for shakes to your doctor to sign…
    in July VSGers??? Comment by bkw2010 June 2014
  • I'm scheduled for 7/1. So excited! This 2 week pre-op liquid diet is for the birds though! LOL!! Guess that will help get me used to "eating like a bird" for after. :)

  • Dezbie, I just tried that website you shared and I think it will definitely be a very helpful motivator. Especially printing out various stages to remind me where I've come from, and the final go to remind me where I'm going! Also helped me figure out that current hairstyle is best! LOL!!

  • I found some flavored broths that I bought, but I'm just starting my pre-op diet today so I'll be testing them out later in the day/week. I got some "Chicken Soup for the Soul" brand broths (in the boxes) in BBQ Beef, and Italian Chicken. I also got Swanson's Hot & Sour infused broth. Swanson also makes a Mexican Tortilla…

  • Hello from across the pond! My name is Bambi (yep, it's my given name). I'm new to this forum, and soon to be sleeved. I just started my two-week pre-op liquid diet this morning. My surgery is scheduled for 7/1/14. I'm reaching out now to form some new online friendships for added support. I do have a few people in my life…

  • Walking, hiking, elliptical and strength training with light weights. I used to LOVE doing DVD workouts, but injured my back pretty badly (bad form on squats and lunges), so I haven't gotten back to that just yet. :(
