Hello everyone,

I am to be banded on Wednesday Dec 13th by Dr. Cobourne in Mississauga. Hope everyone is doing well.:clap2:

I put on the intro thread that I was planning to go to Cancun January 12th for a week and my mom thinks I'm nuts. I think I'll be okay because we've been there before and know the food is good and since I will be on the soft portion of the diet, I think I should be okay.:help:

Let me know what you think,

Deb

Welcome dsoehner!!!

Your in great hands with Dr. Cobourn, he's amazing.

Going to Cancun shouldnt be a big problem, I don't think. You shouldnt have any pain by a month. You will have to stick to smooth/mushies though.

Isn't Pina Colada's smooth????? lol

[rusaner 0]

Yes, to my recollection Pina Coladas are smooth and mushie! I am deliberately going back to the Blue Bay Getaway in Cancun, I was there last January. I know the quality of food was excellent and I should be able to get something mushie at each meal. I figure eggs in the am, cottage cheese or some fruit squished for lunch with salad and then hamburger or some other Protein chewed well or mooshed.:hungry:

I got it all figured (I hope):rolleyes .

Thanks for the reassurance though.

Deb

When you eat too much or swallow chunks of food without chewing them to a mush, then it will get stuck and it will have to come back up. When it does, it does so in a big wad of slime. Sorry for the visual. It dosent hurt. Most times its a huge relief. But sometimes it can catch you off guard, especially in the beginning.

Good to know, I was expecting it to come from the other end. Guess I just need to reverse my thinking. What used to come out gross now comes up gross!!!!!LOL:p

ahhhhh, the good ol' slimes. They are usually your friend when they come, as it will relieve the onset of any impending pain.

Ummmm.....but Deb....keep in mind that a slime "episode" can last awhile.........

We got a slime virgin here folks!!!
