 Hi,
Did you find any latin american recipes that you can share?
I usually just eat the inside of whatever is wrapped at the taqueria.
Thanks,

Does anyone know anything about getting the Lap Band surgery in Peru? I have family there and was wondering how much it costs to get it done there and if anyone has gotten in done by a doctor in Peru or knows someone who has? Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi,

I haven't had a chance to look at the site in detail but it seems to be a great place. I just started really getting into cooking about about a month ago. Eating healthy but tasting great is what I strive for. Thank you for sharing!!

   Hello.. I'm a month  post OP and I lost  27 pounds. I'M in the third stage, I make  my soups like Puerto Rico style, without adding to them to the fats and treatment to replace everything by fat free or light, I only  eat 3/4 cup three meals and two snack...
  How you are after a year and how many pounds you lost...I'm concern about how many pounds you need to loos to be on track...you have any idea..
   I never prepare my food like pure, I just take small bite and  don't have any problem at all..I do some exercise 30 minute in my stationary bike, that it...
   Please give me some advice ....es bueno compartir con otras personas sus experiencias, para asi aprender de ellas....tienes una nueva amiga con quien puedes contar e intercambiar opiniones...mil gracias for Reply.....

thanks guys!!

well everything with my surgery has been going well so far... ive lost 20lb in my first 3 wks!! which i am a little excited about lol. I am currently staying in the dominican republic for the first 6 months after my surgery.. reason being I can follow up with my doctor and also to be close to my father.

well... i havent really been following recipes, now that i started eating "real foods" Ive just been modifying it. for example.. I have my chicken cook with sofrito and adobo I just ask them to limit the salt and not to use oil. The chicken soups and sancochos are the best!!  lol even if i dont get to eat the meats yet. and I do take the beans they make at home and just stick them in the blender.. como una crema de habichuelas.. i am still in an early phase so i dont have much options but eggs, chicken, and veggies.. for me leaving the rice hasnt been that hard. i think i am adapting well to eating healthier foods.. Ive learned within this process that the stomach doesnt distinguish taste(lol) the mouth does.. so regardless if you put a piece of fried chicken or baked... the stomach feels the same : full!. lol point is as soon as i start eating ill get you some yummy recipes!

Thanks for share you experince with us. I'm Puerto rican Living in McKinney, TX. I have my on 11/10/2009 in 3 weeks I lost 22 pounds.....when you start eating regular Puerto Rican food?  I know when you eat just un poquito you filling full right or way...but what is un poquito for you...when I eating like 3/4 cup I'm full how about you
