Allow Me To Introduce Myself: Carla (Aka Cj_Redux)



Recommended Posts

Hello all. My name is Carla. I've been a lurker here on this forum for several months, soaking up as much information as possible. I figured it's time I joined and shared my journey, which I hope will unfold over the course of the next days, weeks, months and years.

I have not yet been sleeved. But I expect to have my surgery sometime in June, 2012. I work as an IT Consultant and just started a new contract. So I am just waiting for my invoices to be paid. Once I get paid, I can book my travel and I'm outta here!

As everyone else is/was, I'm excited, nervous, anxious and scared! I am 100% sure of my decision to get the sleeve...in Mexico. And I know that those surgeons are some of the best in the world. But, surgery is surgery, and I'm most afraid just of going under the knife! I'm in pretty good health, no co-morbities. But my BMI is pretty high (52.4). That's a risk factor in and of itself! Regardless, I'm going forward with this procedure AS SOON AS my invoices are paid!

Anyhoo, I won't prolong this first post, just wanted to introduce myself and say hello and thank you for all the info provided on this forum! I hope to be a helpful addition. :)

Carla (aka CJ_Redux)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
