Hi Marcia,

Sorry I missed your post. It's 11:57 am. I'm thinking of you while you're in surgery and I'm looking forward to seeing you soon!

Topic: RE: Has Anyone Tried These?.....Profect Protein Beverage

Hi Romeo!

I used to buy Profect from GNC. I liked them but got tired of them after a while.

Still, my very favorite protein drinks (they're so good, I hesitate to call them shakes) at the Nectar drinks by Sytrax. I get them through www.vitalady.com or buy them at my Bally's Gym.

There are so many flavors to choose from and I like mixing them together to create my own too.

They really ARE yummy! Especially as a cold summer-time drink!

Topic: RE: When can I try Salads???

Hi Kris!

As long as you're eating a full solids diet, you are ready to try salads.

I've never had a problem with salad but some people have had issues with lettuce, celery and carrots.

Small bite, chew well, try it at home first!

And don't forget your protein first!

Enjoy!

Topic: RE: Dr. Pohl: how long to get 2nd appt?

Hey There!

I agree with Robyn completely. Bring your own copies of each specialist's visit!

Also, your second appointment will not happen until your insurance approves you!

Contact Cheryl at Dr. Pohl's office to see what you can do to assist her in making this happen more quickly. This will usually take up to to weeks or so. Once you know the office has submitted your paperwork to your insurance company, call the insurance company...a lot.

The website is probably going to be a while. I'll be sure to post as soon as it's ready! I'm looking forward to it too.

Have a great day!

Jules

Topic: Endoscopy scheduled!!

Carol from Dr. G's office called and they have scheduled my endoscopy for June 25th! 
I see the NUT on June 26th and then all of my tests and appointments are DONE! 

I spoke with the insurance company yesterday and they received all of my paperwork regarding the surgery, just waiting on a letter from the cardiologist. 

Dare I say this.....All of this has been toooooo easy.  I'm thrilled and maybe this means that I am meant to have this surgery.  I'm so excited!!   (at least <--that little guy LOOKS like he's dancing!!)

Just had to share!!
