  1. Okay, I have to add a couple things to this! Firstly, the liquid Tylenol mentioned earlier is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find now. I've gone to every store, looked online, it's no where to be found. Zilch. HOWEVER. Tylenol is sneaky. They still have an acetaminophen-only liquid product on the shelves. It's just labeled as "Sore Throat" so it gets overlooked. My pharmacist showed me something that was right in front of my face the whole time. It comes in a mint flavor, so it's not as gross as the cherry. Secondly. Lapband friendly PIZZA! Most of us have issues with doughy breads. So, to fix that, and to have smaller portions, broil a Mama Lupe's low-carb tortilla (60 cals) in the oven... 2 minutes on each size. It gets nice and crispy. Load up your favorite toppings (turkey pepperoni, anyone?!) and switch the oven from broil to bake for 5 minutes to heat everything up. DELISH.
  2. Kelo-cote is absolutely amazing. It healed up my boyfriend's scar from spinal surgery.... It's expensive at most places, but you can buy it off ebay for way cheaper, or Walgreens online. Hope that helps!
  3. Skinnybitch, I'm going to Dr. Fitzpatrick also. She's in Portland/Eugene. Not sure where you're at. But apparently she comes highly recommended from OCC. And she occasionally travels to other places as well. I think she's gonna be in Alaska this year.
  4. Flying to San Diego on Monday (3/26) for surgery Tuesday! So excited!

  5. I've been trying tons of different protein drinks recently (and have over the last year or so) and found Nectar protein powder to be the palatable for me. They have fruity flavors so it's good for when I'm burned out on the typical chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla. I get the "Natural" line which uses the natural sweetener Stevia instead of Splenda (PERFECT!).
  6. I just scheduled my surgery date for March 27th. I'm so excited to finally be getting the ball rolling!!!! I only wish March was a little closer, as this Christmas Eve feeling is going to be pretty stretched out. I'm looking forward to meeting some new friends!
