  1. So as most of you know, I had a loan fall through then I got approved, then that one fell through again!! All because I'm having it done in Mexico and they have all these requirements .... So I have to wait until September 1st, when I have all my money saved and pay it all cash. What a migraine I've been getting daily, and the tears I've cried . My eyes and face are burning ;(. Anyways , well that's my update, just had to vent away. Thanks guys !!!
  2. That takes a lot! Great for u, and god has a plan in store for you. Trust me . After a six year relationship I thought I'd be single for life then an angel came into my life a few years later and has been here since. Work on yourself and do things for yourself and U will be happy you did what u had to do. God bless.
  3. So I got approved through a third party lender since my other loan fell through when they found out I was going to Mexico, and they don't fund to Mexico anymore. So I wanted to know from others how long they waited for the third party lender to get in touch with their doctors office. I'm freaking out and stressing each minute. The loan company I went through told me its not up to them since it's a third party and I have to wait until they contact my office. Somebody help me! Lol I'm going insane. And my surgery is in one month! Thanks in advance everyone
  4. I agree with other about you need to be happy. You can either talk to him and work ur way through it or make a choice and leave. You need to find which way you will be happier. I'm in a long distance relationship but everytime I talk or see my boyfriend my heart warns up. As hard as long distance is, I'm very happy. He also travels daily for his job so when he comes to Houston, ( which is always a surprise because it's never a set date) I'm the happiest person in the world. My point is BBJ and now Mesaucedo. Do what makes u happy now kinda happy or annoyed, then ull never be happy. Best of luck!
  5. It doesn't help being a chef , LoL. I Love it though!!
  6. Thank u thank u all !!
  7. Lol sorry about the feta craving. It's my favorite!!
  8. Oh yeah also some avocado w a dash of lemon and salt right out the shell or feta cheese w a little evoo! Yum
  9. Ok sounds weird but when I crave salt I peel a lemon and sprinkle some salt on it. It's sour and salty but do good! Pickles also fight my craving.
  10. Thanks to all the prayers!! I just got approval!! Woohoo! Let's just pray nothing falls apart! I can not wait
  11. If you don't mind me asking roxy, did u finance ur surgery? If so with who?
  12. Did you go through glamour credit ?
  13. Same thing happened to me AK! What happened if u don't mind me asking ? I was all approved and ready to go so I called my finance company and she told me that they no longer find Mexico. And I had to call and find out! They didnt even call me!!
  14. Yay! Glad ur doing great! I'm set up with Dr. A next month. As long as they can still fund my Loan through another lender. Ugh... Enjoy yr day!
  15. Ur body fluctuates daily from water and salt. So as healthy as you maybe eating to scale can fluctuate between 3-5 pounds. You're ok, throw ur scale away!! Lol
  16. My doctor says I can have sugar in my pre-op. no sugar added means the product has its natural sugars but nothing extra added to it. To be safe check with ur doctor
  17. I was looking at two doctors . One here in Houston and Dr. Alvarez in Mexico. When I couldn't get approved with My local doctor the lady from the financial company referred me to doctor Alvarez and that's when I knew he was the one, it wasn't about the price, it's how comfortable I feel and I felt it was a sign. I was so excited. I've been working crazy hours and feeling like a workaholic. I had to save the other half and I was determined. Now I'm bummed and sad. ????
  18. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm kinda in the same situation because the loan I got approved for doesn't fund loans outside the US anymore. I'm hoping I get good news tomorrow because there's still a possibility. Best wishes to you
  19. Thank u nancy! You guys know what's so weird? I just got home and my passport came in.... How ironic? Hope that's god talking to me ????
  20. U all are wonderful! Thanks for the prayers and positiveness.
  21. So, I am paying half out of pocket and half through a loan I got approved for. Well today I called the loan place and the lady told me that the lender that approved me does not fund loans outside the USA anymore.... I was so pissed. She tells me she can still get me approved and she will call me back tomorrow. Like really, what the heck?? I asked her why she didn't call me and she said she has no excuse and apologized for being so busy.. I already am prepared and paid a $1000 deposit that's non refundable. Ugh why me ? I wanna cry
  22. Heres my criteria for Protein bars: - more grams of protein than carbs - no added sugar - low in fat - under 150 cal - gluten/grain free - 17 grams protein per bar Pumpkin Protein Bars makes 9 bars gluten/grain free, sugar free, low in carbs and calories, and of course high in protein! 4 TBS coconut flour 3/4 cup vanilla Protein powder 2 teaspoons cinnamon nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice to your preference [i used 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 t of p.p spice] 1 teaspoon baking powder pinch of salt 6 egg whites 1 cup pumpkin puree 1.5 t vanilla extract stevia to taste [ I used fresh vanilla bean]Mix dry ingredients in a bowl (flour –> salt). Mix wet ingredients in separate bowl (egg whites, pumpkin, vanilla, stevia). Add wet to dry. Spray 8×8 pan, and bake for 30 minutes at 350F Love it!! I know whats going into the bar, and I can control the sugar amount. In this case: none! After cooling in the pan, I cut into 9 bars, wrapped them up and put them in the fridge so they last for the week. If you try these let me know how they come out!
