  1. I had to push mine back from October because of a financing hiccup. I am now scheduled for Jan 24th. I can't believe how fast the time is going!
  2. How about some baby powder?
  3. I've been thinking about the same thing. My kiddos are younger,K we basically ned a new normal. I was thinking of starting early and making gradual changes, but if I knew where to start, I definitely wouldn't be here.
  4. I was just there a few weeks ago. Everything at Walmart is similarly priced. Booze and cigs are really cheap. You may have to buy a script while you are there. I would say at least $100 for incidentals.
  5. Nice! 8 weeks. I am going for 4 weeks.
  6. I am using Medicredit for Dr. Joya, in Puerto Vallarta. It takes a few weeks, they will confirm with the doctors office and send you a check. In order to get a bank draft; the funds have to sit in the bank for 5 days. The interest rates are not awesome; and you definitely have to pre plan. But, it is another option.
  7. I started at 12mg, I am now at 3mg. I will drop to 0mg 1 week before surgery.The first week of vaping was the hardest for me, and the only issue I have had is a dry mouth, so I just drink more water.
  8. Hell yes! I switched to vaping a year ago. I don't want to quit, this is my compromise. I love it.
  9. Eek! I just sat down with my boss to discuss time off for surgery. He asked, and I said hiatal hernia.
  10. Sorry... I tried to attach a pic. This is for Kirkland Signature steak strips?

  11. I've been shopping with this mentality lately. What the heck am I going to feed the whole family? I am trying to find an alternative to chips, we've got more beef jerky in the house now (is that even healthy) I am terrified of failure and having food funerals at the same time (fave restaurants). I think this is the process of becoming a mindful eater and choosing a healthier you...????
  12. I'm surprised nobody has said diced tomatoes yet. Yummy!
  13. I'm so glad you posted this. I was trying to figure out how to replace my morning Timmy's Ice capp. There is a Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino latte flavor. I've read it's really good mixed with ice and coffee. I've also seen quite a few people add almond milk to their coffee.
  14. I'm scheduled for October 11th. I feel like the time is flying by!
  15. I've read a lot of people say the third week is pretty rough. I've got a desk job and am planning on 4 weeks. I don't want to go back tired, dizzy, or on all fluids.
  16. Hi all, I'm from Canada, and I'm going to Puerto Vallarta in October (VSG with Dr.Joya). I would like to take a month off and cover the first 2 weeks with PTO. I am planning on letting work know 30 days in advance, and filing STD paperwork after the surgery. I have coverage with Great West, and I'm wondering if anybody has had experience with GWL? Or with having a surgeon in Mexico? ????
  17. After doing much research and watching a few YouTube videos, I finally put a deposit down with Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta. I have been on the Weight Wise "list" for close to 8 months with no call back yet. The cost is $5000 and 2 hotel nights are included. I went directly through Nathalie to book the appointment and the response time hasn't been the best, but I didn't want to pay extra for a scheduling service.
