Ok guys I will be leaving soon!!

I need all tips and advice and recipies for the frist few weeks out. I will be staying in Mexico with family so I will not have computer access for a while. For those who know I will be having a portion of my tummy removed and some instines (spl?) for medical reasons. They will have to bypass and reatach my instines to a diffrent part of my poor little tummy. Anyways I am happy b/c a good friend of mine is going wit hme to be banded at the same time. SO I need recipies and advice. You are a wonderful group of people and with you advice and stories have reduced my fear. I will get back in touch as soon as I can. I will be heading out in 2 weeks. With all my love, Cari

Good Luck to you!!! Where are you going? I go to TJ for my plastics, and I know a lot of ladies who don't have insurance are having their gastric bypass done there because its much cheaper and the docs are good there too. Prayers going up for you, and best wishes for a speedy recovery!!! Deb

I'm going to TJ

I wish you the best. The first 2 weeks just get through it!! That's all you can do!! Honestly, it was the toughest part but it was all worth it in the end. Each doctor has a different diet to follow after surgery. Follow your surgeon's advice, get your protein, drink water, and most of all LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. I will be praying for you. Take care. Rachel
