Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know that I am doing great. Still a little tender here and there but no real problems. I have lost 17lbs. since surgery and am delighted, it's hard to imagine that I might continue to lose!!! I'm a little confused as what to eat at this time. Nothing seems to make me feel bad, I haven't tried any meat or protien supplements yet. Feel a little tired from time to time but that is my only complaint so far. Hope everyone else is doing well. Nancy

Good for you! If you have any tidbits of info you think I need before I go down South let me know. Are you back to work? If so, how long were you off? Did you stay in one of Dr. Aguirre's apartments?

Canela, I really can't tell you anything that you haven't already read about on line. Dress loose and don't bother to take many clothes, after I left the hospital all I wore was my pj's. I stayed a week after my surgery which I was glad I did, the trip home was a little hard on me (driving to LA and then flying home) the walks at the airport were a little much. I didn't stay and one of Dr. Aguirre's apartments even though I heard they are nice, I rented a house just north of ensenada. All I can say is do what you are told and try to relax, once you are settled in it's a piece of cake Thinking of you Nancy

Sounds like everything is going really well Nancy! As for the energy, I would recommend upping the protein level a bit. That really helps me a lot. I drink the Protidiet tropical punch drink and it really helps immensely! Dina
