No, but hopefully your surgeons office has worked with them before and know what is needed.

I use vanilla in my coffee and chocolate for the lunchtime shake. I buy the vanilla from TrueNutrition website and the chocolate is Syntrax Nectar. Not fruity protein shake person, just the creamy.

Hi Liz,
Yes that's what I was told by my surgeon, they use the first weigh-in. I guess I am just worried that I will be below the 35 and that might disqualify me. Do you have BCBS Federal?
Thanks for replying.

Hi Roz, Thanks for the welcome!!!
I posted here several years ago. Then I just stopped coming on line for a while. You did so well losing 1 pound month for 6 months. I am really going to do my best to do the same for the 4 visits I have. It might be 90 days because this will be a revision. What state do you live in? I live in Oklahoma.
Thanks for your reply. I will keep you all posted on my journey.

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

My insurance used my first weigh-in. However I had a 35 BMI at my last official weight prior to submission, so my surgeon did an unofficial weight for anesthesia just to be sure there were no problems with getting the insurance to pay. My weight dropped to 185 during the pre-op restricted diet.
