    Any Hispanic Sleevers here? Help me

    Well, i'm not hispanic but my in-laws are Nicaraguan and I could swear I was Hispanic in another life. I absolutely love lechon asado and arroz con gandules, and my husbands sister owns a cuban restaurant so those cuban sandwiches have been freeflowing.......when we go to his moms house its always pasteles and café being put in front of me.....so, i have changed how i prepare these. I use brown rice and always cook the beans seperately, i season the meats the same way and just bake then instead. Not quite the same, but it works, i have seriously cut back on the cuban sandwiches though.....

    Curious?

    if the liquid is hotter than 140 degrees it can break down the protein, kinda like gum that has been chewed one time too many times and just desentigrates in your mouth. As long as it isnt much hotter than than this it should be fine, but Click has a really good line of coffee protein drinks.

    Insanity workout

    I have heard a lot of good things about this workout, and if you can get past the throwing up stage it has great results. i guess its kinda like those people on the Biggest Loser, they are just not used to the physical activity, but once they get past those first few workouts their good. i just recently bought one called Supreme 90 Day off ebay, its supposedly like P90x and so far its a great workout.

    Anyone Not Tell Family Or Friends?

    Well, I told just about everyone that I work with.....I work in healthcare and there is a lot of support out there. As far as family, I haven't been phoning up everyone and telling them, but it's no big secret either....in the end it's whats best for me and my health and I will be having the surgery regardless of anyone elses opinions. my immediate family is supportive and thats all that matters.

    Isopure?

    two a day should do ya, I like the grape frost. they have more flavors in GNC, but thy cost about a dollar less in vitamin shoppe.

    Isopure?

    Unfortunately I haven't tried Isopure powder, have not been willing to buy it because they don't offer samples. I do know that Syntrax Nectar has a Double Stuffed Cookie that is awesome with soy milk.

    Isopure?

    You have to buy it in stores like GNC & Vitamin Shoppe, or online; luckyvitamin.com is the cheapest i've seen, and they ship pretty fast too. vitamin shoppe tends to have lower prices than GNC.

    what should I take to hospital tomorrow?

    chapstick, comb and brush, of course a toothbrush, and toothpaste, and i would wear pajamas to the hospital so i could wear the same ones back home. And your tablet or ipad and charger and your cell phone and charger.....

    vitamin issues

    try liquid vitamins, Centrum has one that you can find in walmart and alive has one that you can find in GNC or Vitamin Shoppe, but its more expensive than centrum, i use it now, its not too bad, i chase it with water

    Liquid Protien?

    well that kind of protein is a "last resort" type of protein, but you can buy New Whey in WalMart for like 2.50 a piece, and they also have it in 6 packs. It also comes in several different flavors. If you are absolutely struggling to get in your protein, its a good way to catch up. But i would not use it as my only source of protein.
  19. well itnis really no ones business when you think about it; as for telling your supervisor, as far as i know, you dont have to tell them what tupe of surgery, just that you are having surgery, if you dont think they will support you, why tell them anyway...

    Clear liquid ideas

    Protein Shakes

    use what you can afford, six star elite is good, walmart has it for less than $20, whey tech is good frim vitamin shoppe, but it costs more

    Acid reflux? What is it?

    take prevacid or prilosec, you can buy both of them over th counter....dont eat for two hours before bedtime, if you feel like you have to throw up just go ahead and get it over with; it gets rid of the extra acid and resolves the problem for the time being
