PAMMIE Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Where did you guys eat your last meal in Mexico before being banded?Just curious.

I would like to eat some good mexican food, but mostly it's for my partner. I don't want her to starve just because I have to. Stacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FurEllie Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 At the advice of Momma Ortiz I had a steak at the hotel. Not a great steak but I still enjoyed it One word of warning: Their guacomole dip and what you're used to are probably TOTALLY different, lol. It was great, but it was VERY spicy. Good baked chips to eat it with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregNE Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Where did you guys eat your last meal in Mexico before being banded?Just curious. Stacy I did not think the hotel food was that good. I split an order of fajitas at the hotel with my travel companion, and I honestly can order better fajitas in Nebraska than was offered by the hotel. In fact, I think it was the worst fajitas I have ever had. So, I went across the street to a restaurant which is called Mole or Cafe Mole (pronounced Mo-lay) or something like that. They did not speak English, but my limited Spanglish was sufficient to order. The food was great, service great, and prices reasonable. The waiter was truly thrilled to have gringos in the restaurant, and gave us a sample of all the sauces they offer before we ordered. The restaurant is across from the convenience store 'Extra' and next to the pharmacy. It was recommended by our taxi driver. Mui bien! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandflea Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 OK, so can we have a last meal? I am wondering? I really would like to. I have been unbelievably adherent to this pre op diet of protein shakes and lean cuisine. The 4lbs of green veggies I am allowed each day has saved me. Although, I have yet to eat 4 pounds in a day, it does help with the hunger. I've lost 6 pounds in 6 days. Crazy! Anyway, has anyone been told that it's ok to have that last meal that is not part of the preop diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
