  1. I'm 22 days out and I have been miserable. Until today! I've turned a corner. At least I think I have. They say 4-8 weeks to get your energy back is normal. I went back to work the week after surgery, and I shouldn't have done that. Hang in there! It gets better everyday.
  2. Good luck everybody! Dr. Garcia did my sleeve on July 2nd. I live in western Oklahoma.
  3. I have. I mixed it with chicken and it was fabulous!
  4. No, Oklahoma. Still feeling my way as far as what the little guy can tolerate food wise.
  5. July 2nd for me too. I'm still kinda weak and get fatigued easily. Walking seems to help more than anything. A friend tells me all of this is normal.
  6. I agree with you Kelly. I am a stylist as well. We haven't been able to sell Nioxin since the change. I will tell you that Redken has an amazing product. Intraforce has shocked me with the results. I have an older client that was on the verge of purchasing a wig. She's been using it for a couple of months now, and when I do her hair I no longer see scalp. Noticable hair growth. Very impressed with this product. Please purchase your products from a professional salon to insure quality.
  7. I don't have a GNC close.
  8. I just tried the Special K banana strawberry protein drink. Best tasting drink so far. Just an FYI. Btw, four days til surgery! Woot!!!
  9. Ill be at the Marriott on the 1st and 3-4. Leaving the 5th.
  10. Ill be there the 4th as well. Forgot to type that.
  11. I've asked this on another thread, but here goes again. Pre-op diet with Dr. Garcia says 2 protein shakes per day with a lite dinner. Is anyone doing low carb, low cal, low fat? Instructions were vague.
  12. July 2nd with Dr. Garcia July 1 - Marriott July 2 - 3 florence July 5 - Marriott
  13. You're amazing! I want my face back too!
  14. Yes! Same hotel and doctor! Hope to see you! Yay!
  15. I start pre-op diet this Tuesday. Eek!
  16. I'm only taking 10 days off, and I'm a stylist too. Gonna just try half days.
  17. I'm July 2nd with Dr. Garcia. I'll be staying at the Martiott as well. Hope to see all of you there!
  18. I told some of my co-workers last week because they are like my family. Most were very supportive but now it's crickets. Maybe they are just worried. My hubby and I both researched this and feel good about my decision. That's all that really matters.
  19. Surgery date is July 2nd in Mexico. Western Oklahoma girl!
  20. Also, I'm from Oklahoma. Anybody else?
  21. My friend is also negative which is surprising because she's had a tummy tuck, facelift, etc. if she says anything else I'm going to let her have it. Smh.
