I'll tell you what NOT to drink! Revival Soy...it's absolutely disgusting! My doctor recommends it for the pre-surgery diet. OMG...I almost lost it. It is chalky, lumpy, and just nasty in general. I have LOTS of it, too! UGH! I'm hoping my husband will help me drink it up! LOL...I'll convince him it's good for him!

Thanks for asking this. I too was wondering.

Good luck!

Leenerbups... I spent a few days last week in a severe panic attack. I could hardly breathe, my chest hurt, my mind raced. Haven't done that in AGES! I think it's perfectly normal. Now, I'm settled again and okay. Just stages we go through. But...I truly think it's normal and we'll be fine!

:confused: I'm very confused. I thought I had done all my homework (which is good given that I'm a teacher, right?). Today I received some information that has really turned my usually normal world upside-down! I had chosen Dr. Joya in PV. I couldn't find any problems with him or his reputation. I received some info that he was in trouble in TJ and left there. I am now in a real state of confusion. My date may change anyway due to circumstances beyond my control, but I have been talking with Cathy from Dr. Rumbaut's office about using Dr. R. PLEASE advise me quickly before I have a total meltdown! I'm normally a calm, cool, and collected lady, but I've been having major panic attacks since making my decision. I hate living like this! B :suspicious:

I am being banded in Puerto Vallarta by Dr. Joya on March 27th. I live in Arkansas and hope to lose 100 lbs. at least.

I'm to be banded in Puerto Vallarta on March 27th...five days after my 50th birthday and on my first day of spring break! I CANNOT WAIT! I am self-pay. I'm a bit nervous, but I'm nervous going to the dentist. Come to think of it, I'm MORE nervous going to the dentist! I'm going through the last supper syndrome and it's making me ill. The thought of eating out right now gags me. B
