You can have protein powder mixed with water, so when you get to the US you might try to find a GNC (they also have GNC items in Rite Aid drug stores) and get a can of protein powder.
You can have...

I had surgery in Mexico 8 days ago and had a wonderful experience (save for my horrible roommate the first night). I honestly didnt have that much pain (and the only meds we were given for pain were...

I was gonna say the same as michelleb, ketosis causes some awful breath/taste in mouth. I think there are breath freshener sprays you can use, or those listerine strips like EricV said. I hate it...

It tells you in the "preop diet and letter" you received from the coordinator, but it's Abelizario Lopez (I copied and pasted this directly for you)
HTH!

Thanks for your support ladies! I decided to grow my "balls" back and stop taking SH*T from people. Guess I started today!

WHAT THE HELL? If you're talking to me, I find this an incredibly rude question and the answer is none of your business. If you're not talking to me, it's still an extremely rude question to ask...

Here is a link to the website of the doctor who did my breast reduction about 6 years ago. If you click on the "specials", you'll see what fabulous prices he is advertising right now. And you don't...

Check my blog, I wrote a huge account. Very detailed. I will update it since I am 6 days out of surgery.

You can leave on 2nd day after surgery after they pull your drains if you want but they don't do it until 5pm. Don't know how you'd get back to US though cuz can only drops off at airport 2x day with...

The area around the Hotel Ticuan is fun to explore. There are grocery stores, variety stores, lots of stuff within a few blocks. And you can take a taxi to a mall that has really nice stuff for...

Thought I'd share this news since I'm not sure who knows this. She was the coordinator I used to get my surgery started, and when i got an email from someone else.
I looked back, and I see that I...

Read my blog. I wrote my account from just 2 days ago. All basically positive. I do suggest bringing your own meds for pain and nausea if you can get them. Nausea has been my biggest hurdle.

Glad you like it, I don't find it that great unless I make it with skim milk. It tastes so watery otherwise. How do you make it, and how much liquid do you add? I have a big jug of it that I want...

Haters.....you can't stop them.

Have a Keurig and use the Green Mountain Half Caff or Decaf Breakfast Blend. It is fabulous.

Mostly it's just people who have to tell me that "xxx had the same surgery and xxx" happened to them, or just having to hear people (even on here) who are continuously right on the edge of rudeness...

I posted something about this particular subject a while back, so I just went and found my post, and copied it. I will paste what I said here. Hopefully the information will be helpful to you.

There are always people in the world who are downers. Lately they just piss me off. I need support here, folks. Why do people have to be so rude and oppositional?
I always want to hear the truth,...

My favorite premade shakes are called Oh Yeah! They come in chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cookies and creme, bananas and creme, in 14 oz size (32 g protein) They are like the size of a bottle of...

You go girl! I love how you are always there supporting everyone. I never hear a negative word from you, but you are honest. I thank you to the ends of the Earth for that!

I "tortured myself" by starting 2 months out. I started trying samples of shakes and doing the low carb/low fat thing. It was worth it to me to lose (at this point almost 20 pounds, maybe up to...

I went to GNC to check them out the other day, and they were around $5.50 per bottle, yikes! They did have some flavors 1/2 off so I bought 1 bottle of each flavor to try out. Hope they aren't too...

Seriously, there are 3 posts by you for the same thing. You are spamming the board, and there are those of us who get tired of this.
I don't want to buy my shakes at a huge increase in price so you...

Hi Sheree,
My date buddy! Finally someone else on my date w/Dr. A! I sent you a PM.......I used to be an RN....let my license lapse when I became a SAHM about 10 years ago.....Cool that your...

I was basically wondering just about the day of surgery not the days after that. It's very helpful for me to hear from people who have actually experienced this situation.
