  1. The best protein I've ever tried, labrada pro v 60 in vanilla ice cream. My brother gets his supplements at cost and he paid for mine, otherwise, it is a bit pricey but u get a huge tub that lasts!! It tastes so good too!
  2. It was insane alright! I couldn't keep up and my feet hurt bad!
  3. Then why am I still alive ??!!!!
  4. Crime happens in every city/country daily, trust me! I'm from the land where my people (Palestinians) fight and get killed each day. I now reside in Houston where there are so many cultures and ethnicities and depending where you go , the samethings are happening here that happen everywhere. Yes their maybe be horror stories but that's everywhere u go. My friend who had it done here in the US had complications and a leak when I who went to the best doctor (just my opinion, dont jump on me) who's done more surgeries than any doctor I know or researched, I know I can always go back to my doctor for follow up and blood work at no charge. Luckily , I'm not too far from where I went and would go back in a heart beat! I dislike when people say they've done research when they didn't! Don't judge others and what they choose. Yeah I could've went to Dallas four hours away instead of my doctor , five hours away but this was my decision. I had the opportunity to meet my doctor in person before surgery also, so before u jump on people, u do ur research. It took me 2 years to save my money and not one regret. Ignorance.
  5. That's awesome girl. I'm going to start insanity tomorrow
  6. I thought u weighed less, wanna tell me ur workout plan ?
  7. You can add me, it's so motivational Palisusie
  8. Imagine being a chef! Lol. Honestly though, I knew what I was going into and I try to stay focused as I can be. It really does get easier. I'm only 2 1/2 months but I don't miss anything! Maybe because I'm around it all day, from my mom cooking at home to working on a restaurant, I just drink my water and move on
  9. U can also get it at HEB if u live in Texas . They have pb2 and pb2 with chocolate. Yum!
  10. I use tryabouttime.com it's 103 calories per scoop and I think it's two carbs (sorry not at home, lol) I always add some skim milk and stevia with a half cup skim milk and a cup of water it's 150 calories and 30 grams protein.
  11. Cinnamon is also great for blood sugars, it elevates ur sugars and is so good for u!
  12. Weighed in at 215.4, finally broke my stall 3 pound loss
  13. Yay! My stall finally broke! I woke up at 215 this morning when u was bouncing 218-220. Glad that's over! Lol
  14. It's hard but try to set times on yr phone and how much u want to drink, it helps.
  15. Those were my intentions
  16. Pre plan, make a marinade and soak the meat the night before and make a marinade for the veggies. Make sure u soak the skewers (if they are wooden, I have metal ones) for atleast an hour or so, then skew the meat right before you grill them or cook them on a flat grill on medium until cooked to your likeness. I make lamb skewers and here is my recipe: One pound of lamb cut into cubes 2 bell peppers of any variety Baby portabella mushrooms Red onions cut into squares Marinade for meat: 1/2 cup olive oil 2 large lemons squeezed and zest peeled One large garlic clove 8-10 sprigs of fresh mint chopped Small sprig of chopped fresh parsley Salt, pepper and allspice to taste Marinade for veggies: 1/4cup olive oil 1/3 cup red wine vinegar Pinch of sugar (1 tblsp) Salt and pepper to taste Marinade both the meat and veggies in a plastic ziplock bag (after whisking in together all the ingredients into two separate bowls) and marinate 8-10 hour or over night. Skewer them the day of and grill and enjoy! So yummy and great with a side of quinoa
  17. My blood sugars are great. I had a really high a1c of 9.4 at my last check up before surgery, I'll have another checkup in a month or so and my BS's range 100-130, that is great for me! I loved so many things that I don't care for anymore and that makes me happy! As far as getting too low, u really have to adjust ur insulin to fit your doctors plan. Ask ur doctor, he/she will help u adjust ur meds. I'm also off of my cholesterol meds and lisonopropil . I never thought this would happen to me, and it did! My sugar dropped a few times and during the liquid stages I drank orange juice but that made me vomit, so i had glucose tablets and those always worked. I hope they approve the sleeve for you. I was going for the band at first and so glad I didn't after all my research.
  18. If u take it current weight and divide it in half, that's how much water u should be drinking a day in ounces. For example, if u weigh 200 pounds ur body can take in 100 ounces of water.
  19. Hey there, here I am, lol. I have been a type one diabetic for 15 years, I got sleeved July 7 by Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. A great experience. Im down 34 pounds since preop and very happy! I went from taking 60 units of novolin N and R per day to 5-7 units a day, sometimes every other day. Now you probably will be a slow loser because we don't produce enough insulin, and u do need insulin to burn everything u eat. I may be wrong be ause every body is different , but slow losing is better than fast IMO. You feel better and take less meds which is great. I'm off my cholesterol and lisonopropil . Any questions just ask,
  20. Thanks six, I hope so
  21. That's great news! I wish mine would break ;/. I'm getting impatient.
