Dr. E Ortiz! Through a lighter me April 15th I'm pumped!

Cassandra, I had surgery with Dr. Ortiz on Nov 8. I had a great experience with him, the nurses. Abraham, all of the folks at A Lighter Me! My hospital stay was uneventful and I've healed nicely. I wish you the best of luck in your recovery, weight loss journey and the road to your new life!

I just booked my surgery with Dr Ortiz at OCC for April 11! It can't come soon enough.

Hey SCMoF!

I'm scheduled for 4/7 with Dr. Ortiz and completely agree that it cannot come soon enough.

I am hoping for 4/14. Who is your surgeon? When are you going? Which hotel? Which hospital? I am going to go by myself. I would love to have a buddy.

I'm in Las Vegas - you?

Oh, you are so on my wavelength! :)

Sorted through all my clothes this weekend and organized them by size. Pretty much a nerd, but I don't care. I'm just so stoked that I won't be in my fat clothes for too much longer.

More worried about making it through the pre op diet right now. At least without killing anyone........

Haha! Yeeeeeah... I'm a bit apprehensive about that myself. If you hear anything on the news about a chick in MN on a hungry homicidal rampage the week after next, it's just me on the pre-op diet. ;)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
