March 18th w/ Dr. Lopez in TJ. Best of luck to you! Amanda Rae

How are you doing? January is just about over... How is your recovery and weight loss going? To those who are days away, how is the anticipation treating you? Amanda Rae

I was wondering the same thing. I gave her a shout out on the Dr. Ponce thread... Still nothing. I hope all is well. Amanda Rae

I'm glad you made it through your surgery safely and I hope you feel better. Rest and follow the doc's orders! Amanda Rae

That is a bummer. But it's a good thing you had yourself checked out and know now something is going on. I hope this doesn't sound trite, but one of my favorite mantras is, "It's not a problem, it's an opportunity." Remind yourself that things happen for a reason and we have opportunities to make the most if them. I hope everything works out for you!! I can relate to iud problems. My mirena caused a plethora of issues. So glad to be rid of it! Amanda Rae

I never knew that. Good to know, thanx! Amanda Rae

I can dig it!

Absolutely! Lol I think we all hold our breath until we get that "out of surgery" post. Amanda Rae

I hope you get answers soon. Obviously I'm not a doc but my gallbladder attacks hurt worse than 26 hours of labor pains did. Easily. Amanda Rae

Flying out on that exact day! I will wave as we take off and I will be sure to share my experience too! Amanda Rae

It's exciting for you and your family I'm sure. I'm filled with excited anticipation too... I'm so looking forward to doing the things I love the most. Like rock climbing and hiking in the mountains. Amanda Rae

March 18th with Dr. Lopez in TJ. Amanda Rae

My dad really chewed me out when he found out my plans. It is a subject we've agreed not to talk about. It was "Mexico" that caused him to freak. In hindsight I wish I would have not told anyone but my hubby until afterwards. Hindsight is always 20/20. Amanda Rae

So glad you asked! I was going to ask too! Amanda Rae

I hope you're feeling better. Amanda Rse

Define cold? I will be there in mid-March. It's been about 2 degrees here in NE Ohio factoring in wind chill. When its in the 50's and 60's we open out doors and windows and drive with the windows down!!! Lol! Amanda Rae

I bought a single serving blender to liven up my preop intake. I found my favorite Protein shake combo. MRM low carb chocolate protein mix. Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Coconut milk. It tastes like an Almond Joy. How much ice should I add? Should I reduce the almond milk and add some vanilla Greek yogurt? Has anyone mastered smoothie making? Amanda Rae

I was going to go with Dr. Garcia initially but Dr. Lopez was suggested due to my high BMI. And then Dr. Garcia and ALM parted ways, I believe? I've heard good things about Dr. Garcia... Amanda Rae
