  1. After my mother had her bypass she cried alot... it threw me off because my mother NEVER cries. I told her it was just her hormones out of whack because of the surgery. She got better about it over time. I hope that you start to feel better as well!!!!
  2. thanks for all the replies!! I just want to taste them. I have heard mixed reviews about it so just one to taste is good for me. I have heard good things about the banana pineapple something one...so that is the one that I am looking for. thanks again
  3. Other than GNC and online, where can I find it? I went to Walmart and the grocery store in the area and neither of them have it. GNC had it but did not have the particular flavor that I am wanting to try. Can you guys tell me other places that might sell this. thanks. Kisha
  4. ticker.... its down to single digits. When I first put it up it was at 1 month, 2 weeks, and 1 day!!!! OMG its really real. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and that really set in today when I went to the store to buy some things for dinner.... man where did the time go!!!! Guess I am going to be making a few more youtube videos between tonight and tomorrow..... OMG>>>> I AM SO EXCITED..... AND.... NERVOUS.... but mostly EXCITED
  5. My coordinator with Dr. Garcia. She is the best. I swear I feel like I am bugging the mess out of her but she nevers gives off that vibe. I email her and she replies within the hour with all the answers to my many questions. I know that my experience with Dr. Garcia will be great because has one of the best coordinators working with him!!!! 7 days before we leave!!!! Can't wait
  6. Congrats!!! I know that has be exciting!!!
  7. Thanks for sharing your story!!!! Every time I read a review about dr Garcia I feel confident in my decision to go to him!!!!
  8. 9 days until we leave!!!! 10 until surgery. I can't believe these last two weeks have gone by so fast.
  9. Not all clinics, hospitals, and/or doctors are created equal... And that goes for Mexico, the US, the ukraine... Anyway....
  10. So true!!! They do the surgery in an outpatient facility...and send you home that day.
  11. I know exactly what you mean. I do the same things and feel the same way. Its crazy to think that we are actually going to be able to live again!!! really live and not be in the "fat" bubble anymore. You will do fine...I am sure of it... as we all will!!!
  12. awww that sucks. but now you know....and knowing is half the battle I hope you feel better
  13. Jenn, glad everything went well. I hope that you start to feel better soon. good luck to those that are scheduled today!!!
  14. Congrats on being sleeved. Hope you start to feel better soon!
  15. We are getting sleeved on the same day!!! At first it seemed as if the time was moving ever so slowly... now....it is flying and I feel like I have a ton of stuff to get done in so little time!!!
  16. do you have Verizon too? I am fairly new to my iphone, but I will be sure to play with it before its time for me to leave. I can only facetime my daughter, but I can skype everyone else!!!
  17. I guess I should put my phone in airplane mode before I cross the border lol. I'm just afraid Verizon will find some way to get some money out of me even if I use wifi. They are greedy like that
  18. Or you could purchase a phone card and call from the hotel
  19. I have Verizon and I don't plan to turn on my phone at all because they want too much money. Everytime I go out of town and leave the kids home they know they can Skype me!!! It works just like a phone call and it's free. Now FaceTime uses data do I wouldnt use that either.
  20. You look great!!! Isn't it great to really be and feel alive!!! I can't wait to have that feeling again
  21. That is great news!!! I know that you won't ever miss those 40 lbs. I can't wait to be in your shoes!!!
  22. I started my pre op diet on the 15th (although I plan to start early) and I know that it is going to be super hard for me.
  23. You will do great!!! Good luck and keep us posted !
