Good morning Mell,

I understand getting it done outside the US might be a bit of a struggle. It's something you will not regret though. I have my ups and downs & depressive moments but when I get over it, I see it's worth it. I'm losing the weight slowly but I am & it feels great when people ask if you're losing it.

The eating part will come naturally. Your body will tell you what you can and can't eat. I started making changes 2 months b4 I was banded. For breakfast I ate a cup of oatmeal with skim milk, sprinkled cinnamon and a few raisins. That kept me full until lunch. That was pretty cool Even during lunch I was getting full faster. I was told oatmeal keeps you full longer and it does indeed. I also tried adding & replacing meats and starchs for veggies but I did this slowly. It helps believe me.
