Vacation to Sweden Story

I recently went on vacation to Sweden with my 13 year son.  We went to visit a friend of mine who also had RNY surgery this past year in February. She had lost about 40 pounds and was still losing.  I was shocked though at the amount of food she could eat and the size of her portions.  Does anyone know if the procedures for the surgery very from country to country?  Also what my doctor had told me about things to eat and things to avoid seemed to be opposites to her and explanations she had from her doctor sounded so ridiculous to me.  I was also worried that from what she was eating and the amounts that she would gain weight easily.

Wow Lucy, love the avatar pic, you rocked your tool big time.  Congrats.  And yes, each and every surgeon has their own opinion on nutrition.  Could be that they left your friend with a larger pouch than ours.  I am thrilled that she is losing.  I hope that she is getting nutrition advice as she continues the journey. 

Hope you enjoyed the trip with your son. How cool, did you see any great sights?
