April 19 surgery
I am heading to Puerto Vallarta on the 18th. Surgery the next day. Anyone going to Dr. Joya during that time?
I have a list of questions I wanted to throw out as well
Also was interested to know if you found support groups in your hometown to attend? Did they help? I am in St.Louis, MO....any recommendations?
I am doing a 2 week liquid diet. 3 protein drinks a day. I have tried lean shake 25 from GNC but after reading various posts about carbs I am concerned that this shake has too many (17). I also tried Atkins Advantage vanilla ... sickingly sweet for me. I was hoping to be able to use what ever shake for pre op and post op, though I have heard my tastes will change.
Did any of you take "food" with you? I was considering taking some protein shake mix, ramon noodle seasoning packets for chx broth, etc?
If you are not telling anyone how do you avoid the questions when you are vomiting after eating new foods and can't lift anything over 10 lbs for 4 weeks?
Lastly has there been any books that you have read that were extremely helpful?
