Just sleeved 2 days ago in Mexico I am at MI hospital. My doctor was Dr. Lopez and his wife Dr. Osana. Both great doctors very personable and no complications. Passed both leak tests and I am ready to go back to the hotel for two more days and recoop poolside and maybe do a little sightseeing, lol.

Mmmmm, I have been doing a lot of Miso since getting home, an excellent choice for clear liquid time.

Yes!!! Miso!! That's what I was thinking of bringing....I k ow everyone has different tastes, and I know im not gonna be gulping broth by the boatloads, but I am planning to bring a couple extra packets of stuff I know I can stomach....now anyways: who knows about after surgery!!! Thanks a lot, you guys. I appreciate the feedback re : broth. Who knew broth could be so interesting? :-)

Skyjack how much have you lost? I am so glad you chose sleeve vs lapband. I paid 15000 for mine and going back for sleeve in Mexico with Dr Fillipe. I started at 195 and am now 168.

I brought Miso soup with me and just asked for hot Water to make my own broth. Marriott broth was bad!

I know this sounds like a stupid question but I had read about the miso soup so I went to buy some but all I find are packets that gave noodles in them, do you buy that or us there something else? I tried making my own broth but it didn't look to great so it's in the freezer!

Usually miso has little squares of tofu, which is pretty benign stuff, but id say just drink the broth...miso broth is awesome, and it'll give us the liquid, the sodium, and the warm healing feeling in our new little sleeved tummies! Bring a couple packets with you. Im doing the same...otherwise, I got some of the Herb-Ox bullion powder AND some of the Swanson flavor boost concentrated stuff. I know they're both tasty and easy to make. Another person mentioned that they used the coffee maker in the hotel to warm up water for broth, and then kept it warm using that too. They also have broth at the hotel, Gatorade, Popsicles....i dont think we're gonna do much chowing (or sipping) , but its nice to know they've got what we need, and apparently there are stores very close by.
