  1. Hey what is your YouTube channel name? I didn't know you had one! I definitely want to subscribe!
  2. Hey chum! I was going to call you the other day! I sent you a message
  3. Hi there! Dr ponce did my surgery on June 15 and my coordinator was trish! I have nothing but great things to say about them both! Dr ponce's pre-op diet is one of the easiest out there, simply nothing but yogurt (any kind) & water for the three days before surgery! Good luck! I have lost 40 lbs already!
  4. I'm an industrial maintenance technician and my doc took me off work for one month plus 8 weeks of no lifting more than 10 lbs. good luck!
  5. Excited for you!! I had my surgery with dr ponce in June 15 and trish was my coordinator! She is GREAT! we just skyped the other day, she is a total sweetheart! You WON'T be disappointed . I am down 36 lbs since surgery (surgery weight 217 lbs, now 181 lbs). Good Luck!
  6. Ok, which is better weighing or measuring with a cup? We are supposed to eat 4-6 oz in volume correct? Isn't weighing food going give different volumes? Sorry I'm still learning here! thank you all for the input! Oh and I was just going to add that I'm scared not measure my food, because if there is more than I am supposed to eat in front of me, I will eat beyond being "satisfied". Probably a big part of the reason I got as big as I did!
  7. I did not like the muscle milk at all! :-( it was too thick and had a terrible after-taste. I guess the Syntrax is probably my next choice to try. Thanks!
  8. I am 6 weeks out from revising band-to-sleeve. I literally measure all of my food with a 1/2 C measuring cup. In the beginning after I got my band I "eye-balled" correct portion sizes and I slowly got away from that eventually ended up over-eating again. I'm so scared of not measuring my portions. Does everybody here measure out their food? Did you only in the beginning? And if you stopped, did you regain or stop losing? It's such a pain to have to actually measure out food!
  9. Ok, I know there are a gazillion threads on protein shakes, but I don't know how to find them on my phone! I'm trying to locate a protein shake that tastes YUMMY! I like EAS soy protein shakes in vanilla, but there are 19 carbs in a serving and too many calories. I just purchased muscle milk protein powder in chocolate, and it tastes NASTY!! :-( I'm going to be throwing it away! I have been looking through reviews on amazon and syntax has great reviews, but so do sooo many others! Plus there is an endless selection of protein powders! Should I just go with the syntrax nectar? What tastes GREAT plus has low carbs? If it matters, I am looking for a chocolate flavor so i can alleviate the cravings lol!
  10. Fmla is a federal law, which means it applies to every single state. There are, however, rules that apply to Fmla to qualify. And individual states have their own laws and rules regarding disability etc. Best bet is to do what you said and talk to HR! Good luck!
  11. Omg! I can't even imagine fresh dungeoness!! I have only had frozen here (and it is still good!). Where can I get this crap cupcake recipe?! You have me interested!! :-)
