Well im home, day 5 post op, doing good although not moving real fast lol. My experience in TJ mexico with Dr. camelo was very good. The travel home took a bit of a toll on me but so glad i made it. Not doing real great with input yet but im taking sips constantly or eating tiny bites of jello. Smells nauseate me, have had some cramping but i breath through it.

Its all decided...airplane ticket purchased, passport will be here any day and surgery scheduled for march 6th with Dr. Camelo in Tijuana Mexico. I am trying not to have food funerals as i tell myself this is my choice and i am so ready but wow a trip thru walmart yesterday was tough lol. It is insane how much my life revolves around food. My new motto is goin to be Eating to live, not living to eat! I like that saying.
