  1. I drink the isopure drinks with 40g protein. They come in many flavors.
  2. Praying (hugs). I also went to TJ but had a different doctor. I am now 11 days out and doing awesome! I am positive you will do great, hang in there :-)
  3. Go to Mexico, 15 days and you are in!
  4. I enjoyed reading your post! For me personally I opted for Dr. Ortiz and have my surgery scheduled for next Wed. I can tell you that I have been sooooo impressed with the coordinator Carolyn. She is awesome and does not contract through a 3rd party, works only with OCC for Ortiz. She also has had surgery with him and was able to answer all questions easily.
  5. I feel your pain! My surgery date is July 31st and this diet is making me so drained! I tried to increase my vitamins and intake of protein but still dead tired after work and have to take a nap. Glad to know that I'm not in this alone....... Trying to stay strong!
  6. WOW! Good job . But really though......back to work on Monday? Seriously????
  7. Ohh, I see. I can't hep u with that one until after next week
  8. I am scheduled for surgery next week but I feel pretty confident because once u make your appointment they give u every detail possible and help walk u thru what u will need to do and what to expect. I am going through Dr. Ortiz at the OCC. there are a lot of utubes if interested or have not chose a doctor. Oh yeah, my pain medications are in addition to the fee and was told to bring $125-$150 for them. Hope this helps.
