Can you give me an idea of your eating plans

I am 51 years old, and a working professional. I have 7 wonderful children and my husband had a bout with cancer in February. My cholesterol is 345 and climbing, my blood pressure was climbing, I lost weight and gained more, lost weight and gained double. This life style had to change. I arrived in Calexico on Tuesday morning, was picked up by a very nice driver Ernesto. My husband and I were taken across the boarder to Hospital Almedan, We were very swiftly taken for all of our lab work, ECG, Blood work, X-rays. After that we met with Dr. Aceves and Dr Campos, they went step by step through the surgical procedure, we were able to ask questions and tour the hospital. It was clean and the staff was attentive. We were then taken to the hotel, It was a Holiday Inn and our rooms were terrific. We had a great dinner of shrimp and tres leches cake. Early the next morning, we were picked up by the driver and taken to the hospital , where we were checked in and preped for surgery. I went first, I was on the table for 45 min and in recovery for 4 hours. I was able to walk that same night, some slight pain, but very well addressed by the staff. They are clean freaks, they cleaned my room 4 times a day. LOL Day one post op was walk, walk, walk, some no lots of gas pain. Walk, sleep, walk sleep, walk sleep. Had the blue die swallow test, it went great, no leaks! YIPPIE Day two post op I felt much better and had my first bowel movement. Can you say OUCH? But finally gas was on the move. Had the barrium swallow test, and got see my new stomach. WOW. amazing. Day three post op, picked up by the driver and taken back to our car in Calexico. We picked up our very dirty car and drove to Idyllwild, Ca to rest and recouperate and as a side line to Celebrate our 25th anniversary. The trip was long and tiring. I slept all afternoon. Day four post op got up and walked around a bit in the town square. Enjoyed our day in the fresh air, slept in the afternoon. Some slight back pain but feel wonderful That is where I am at right now. Started at 205 and havent been able to weigh since surgery. But I am sure that all the swelling it would not be a great idea anyway.

First I want you to go the E.R. and second definantly call Dr Aceves or Dr Campos. They will and can help you. They are wonder Surgeons.
