How Long Should I Wait To To Take A Trip To India



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am just 17 days out of surgery, but one of the things I've always wanted to do was travel to India. I never really persued it because airplane seats are so uncomfortable for people that are really overweight.

Anyways now that I have a skinnier butt to look forward to, I wanted to plan a trip in a year from now as a treat to myself. For those people that are a year or two out how does your stomack handle spicy foods, curries, foreign bacteria etc

Just wondering if this is a good idea or not...

I eat the same spicy food now that I did pre-op, spice doesn't bother me. If I go someplace with poor sanitation, like Africa or the smaller Indonesian islands, I might get an upset tummy for a day or two but I had those pre-op, too. Nothing has changed except my tummy is loads smaller and the airplane seats are lots roomier. Start planning, I am sure you'll have a great time!

I'm 3.5 months out and already I can handle spicy foods.

I am 16 days post op and I have eaten I Indian food already! I add hot sauce to everything! After 9 days I was moved up to almost a full diet, just no raw veggies or fruit or any red meat. As for traveling, not sure I have take. A 2 hour road trip and did great.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
