    I'm on day 4 of my liquid pre-op diet and today was NOT good! I went out this morning for about 2 hours and by the time I got home I was disoriented and so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open. I...
  6. Re: Can I just say how much I really dislike protein shakes?

    You completely defeat the purpose of protein if you're adding chocolate syrup and high calorie items to it. Have you ever paid any attention to how many calories are in heavy whipping cream and...

    Sorry you're having a bad day. Is there not a trainer closer to you than 2 hours away? That just seems like a really far drive, especially if you're going to be seeing him often. I know 10 pounds...

    Re: March 28th, Tijuana Mexico, Dr. Almanza

    I'm just doing the sleeve by itself. I have a friend who was at a start weight of over 400 pounds and did just the sleeve. He's had remarkable results with just the sleeve.
