I know you said experienced sleevers and we are all different with different advice from our doctors. Yet I was sleeved on 02/04 and was on clear liquids for 10days post surgery. I just started full liquids :protein drinks, yogart, ect. I did try a few days earlier, like at day 7 and felt one day the same way you are descibing. I was told to truly just worry about hydration first then after 10 days concentrate more on proteins. I have been recovering really weill , other than the one day I tried to take full liquids. Hope this helps.

Also, You have lost already 1/4 of what you wanted to lose. It how you look at it.

Wow, you are doing amazing, just think in 6 months. Congrats!!!

I have wondered how you picked that.

Godspeed!!!

It reminds me of what happened when I went to my doctor to ask him about what he thought of WLS. He is old school and keep in mind he has told me in the past that I HAVE TO lose atleast 100 lbs. I went in and starting talking to him about the sleeve and he just shut me down and said "oh no......all you have to do is eat just one big salad a day and nothing else" Oh..... that is all, never mind my bottomless pit and never ending hunger feeling. Sometimes I wonder if they hear themselves. Don't you think we look in the mirror.

Doooooottttteeeeeerrrrrssssss....... You did it! Long time coming. Welcome. I am so happy for you. I will be praying for a speedy recovery. Take it easy for awhile.

Thank you for your post. He was awesome to me also.

Thank you for the insight and congrats on your success.

Is purade meaning full liquids to you or food in the blender? Just curious because I am on full liquids; soups, pro shakes , ect. and I get full but it all goes down pretty well. I am 11 days out.

My screen name is my first name spelled backwards.... Stacey

Hang in there. It sounds like you are right on track and doing wonderful.

Although you should not use a straw... I was told any thing that sits out and that could be sucked through a straw is a liquid.

You are not bursting my bubble, you can't.

Wow, I am a server also and I would know way go back to work so soon. Not only because I think I would get really fatiqued but my job requires a lot of lifting of trays and sometimes bus tubs. I would be afraid of getting a leak. Be very careful. If your employer knows then return to light duty but if not do not chance it. People get leaks even after surgery.

I was there on Feb 4th. I had better care there than ever here in the States. Also, I would recommend finding a coordinator that is located IN MEXICO, if you are that concerned. Like others have said before me when using a coordinator you don't have to deal with the fear for someone is carrying you through . I would of felt the same way if I did not have someone to walk me through. PM me and I will share the details and my personal experience with my coordinator.

I absolutely love this post. I also love your spirit and your style in writing. You are creative and sensitive and most importantly a child of the most high. Bless you lady and continue to honor Him as you do. :smile1:

When were you sleeved?

Remember protein first then carbs makes a full and happier sleeve.

So happy for you. Welcome to the loser's club!

Good for you. If you mess up on pre op, mess up with eating high protein. Your tremendous will power to not give in will carry you a long way through out your sleeve journey. keep up the good work.

I wish you the best. Do not get discouraged and keep trying. Prayers sent your way!!!

Lucky Ducky, I can not wait! lol

Here is his phone number 619 395 5347 I reached him via email: jrkelly45@hotmail.com Two things, that is coming from a coordinator for whatever reason does not book for him. If that is the case then so be it, should she unprofessionally smear him. He is certified in the states as well, he would be stripped of his license if he was not capable. Also, just say a dr. does 100 surgeries, he might have maybe 0 or 1 issue, if you do 1000 (more experienced) you might tend to have 2 or 3 issues. two, we have had a surgeries with him. He is caring , compassionate and strives to know your well. I am tickled with him!
