  1. I know it's hard, I'm on my third day and I'm on a combo of clear and full liquids. I wish I can chew something! Lol. Thank goodness my hunger has gone away but the crankiness and irritability is ticking me off. Hang in there, we can do it!! Stay strong.
  2. On my third day of preop liquids for two weeks and I wanna know how long this lack of energy lasts? I feel tired and weak and just want to sleep all day. I work 12 hour days on the weekends and am exhausted from that alone. I work in a restaurant as a shift leader so I'm always on my feet.
  3. Thanks everyone, I don't want to cheat and don't have those intentions. I just wanted to know if there was something I can do to to my broth to make this craving go away. I'm not hungry or anything , just want some salty flavor.
  4. I'm on my third day of clear liquids and am craving something salty... Any suggestions on how to kick things up without messing up?
  5. I will be there in two weeks. Starting my preop today. I'll be on clears for two weeks. Supposed to be one week but dr a said I can do two weeks, he says the longer the better! Woohoo! Good luck to you. I have met him in person and I know I couldn't have made a better choice. Any questions let me know. Susie
  6. I have a juicer and was wondering if I can add some unflavored protein to freshly juiced veggies ( not fruits because of the sugar). Thanks for posting because I too am worried about too many sweet shakes. I know about broth but wanted to know other options too.
  7. I am type one but wish I could get off insulin. Unfortunately I can't. But my doctor said I'll more than likely be taking way less insulin to get it under control. I can't wait.
  8. Pickles and popcorn with chili lime r the best! No I'm not prego! LoL
  9. Wow I'm retarded. Sorry that happened to you. I have a fear of it breaking ;/. Hopefully it won't.
  10. My boyfriend drives down there all the time LOL. I'm six hours away in Houston. I know about the pickles with the chili salt . Lol
  11. I'm soooo sorry, how did it get in ur arm? I'm confused
  12. Thanks chi, I'm trying for example my car note and cell phone I pay half and half with two check but then by the time I pay them for that month and I have my college loans and other things due then back to square one. I'm trying to get extensions but it's not working out. I'm thinking of just delaying some bills to have enough. Just so stressful ;(! Thanks for the reply! Wish I had just one extra check
  13. Wasn't sure where to post this so I'm going to post it here. I am having surgery in three weeks in Mexico and I almost have the amount I need, $500 dollars away. I know I'll get there but at the same time, I've been touching my savings to catch up when my checks are short. I feel like I'm never gonna get there with all these stupid bills. I can't take out any loans because that's more debt and I get paid hourly and tips. Lately my checks aren't enough and I use my tips and savings to pay things. I need some advice on what to do. Certain bills are due every two weeks and there's no way I can get around that. So stressed and tired of worrying about money.... ;(
  14. I think it's all up to you. I personally have the para guard IUD and am very happy with it.
  15. IMHO I hate it. I was on it for nine months and I feel like it screwed me up. I will never get that thing again! And I gained 20 pounds. Ugh ;(
  16. I was told to walk 10-15 minutes so I don't dehydrate. I'm in Texas too so I understand!
  17. It looks like a treadmill but goes up and down like an elliptical but is an actual belt. I dunno if that makes sense lol. But google it. It looks great!
  18. That's amazing! Brought tears to my eyes... Wonderful for you and awesome job!
  19. I live in Houston but going with Dr. Alvarez in piedras negras, mx
  20. Check out walmarts website. They have a lot of options. That's where I plan on buying mine
  21. That's so great Pat! Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to jot down all the info I can and I will put this in my book.
  22. Lissa, try buying some fresh beets and roast them in the oven with some salt pepper and olive oil (I leave the skin on, but u can peel them). I like the nutrients in the skin. Then slice them and eat them as is or add to a salad. They're so delish!
