bursonc

My instructions said 4 oz 3 X a day also w/ liquids between the 3 meals.

This is for the first 30 days. After that 1 - 1 1/2 cups 3 X a day w/liquids between.

I just had my band placed by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali at Almater hospital. I was treated so good. The hospital was spotless. Dr. Aceves has great stats. (check out midwesterngirl's site on obesityhelp.com ... finding a surgeon in mexico)

I was seen at least 3 or 4 times daily by all 3 doctors that were in the surgery. I would stay out of TJ also. Not safe right now, besides the doctors are on strike there I've heard.

I hope you will check out Dr. Aceves. I highly recommend him and his staff. email me if you have more questions: obesityhelp.com profile: bursonc

Dr. Aceves has special pricing available in June also.

I was told not to drink 30 minutes before meal and to set timer and wait at least one hour after meal before drinking, and then only sip. After that try to drink something every 15 mins. (2 to 4 ounces). Hope this helps.

Are you taking Vitamins? I chose Centrum silver chewable for right now, even though I'm just under 40. Are you getting in enough calories? Make sure you are drinking, sipping, or crunching chipped ice.
