Lol, probably!

The scale finally moved! Yes, I have been tracking on my fitness pal. Getting 600 calories a day. I got on this weekend and i had lost 3lbs. Yaay! I guess my body just needed to catch up. Thanks for the advice! Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk I had surgery Feb 24th, and I am stuck also.Mine lasted about 2 weeks. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I had vsg surgery on Feb 29th in Tijuana, Mexico. Everything was fine. I lost 15 lbs on my 2 week pre op diet, then 7 the first week. Then 3, and now the scale hasn't been moving. For 2 weeks now. Im eating very few carbs, trying to get all my water, but only getting about half. I'm getting all the recommended protein, (60-80 g daily). Haven't been able to exercise much. Only walking on weekends. Anyone else have a stall this early on? How did you break it? I'm very discouraged. I'm eating healthy (solids now), but I'm just not seeing the results I was hoping for.

Good luck! Anything else ypu want to know just ask! :-)

Sure! I started my 2 wk pre op diet at 290. Day of surgery 275. Today (6 days post op) I was 269. They send you with Mexican versions of Antibiotics and NSAIDs. (Cephalexin and Ketorolac). You also get a mexican version of antacid, a chalky liquid. They give you some gauze and tape and antibacterial spray for your incisions. I have 4. 3 small ones and one is prob 2-3".You get copies of your pre op stuff, (ecg and labs).You don't get a copy of your xray from your leak test. Atalia, the on site coordinator, has a packet of info at the desk at the hotel when you check in. Usually they send you via Marriott shuttle the next morning for surgery.

Just sip slowly after surgery. Im still weak, but there was no pain throughout the whole experience.

@@uninnocent21, It was fine. The hospital and rooms are nice. I dont think I heard Dr. Vazquez say 3 words. I actually asked if he spoke English. They really watch you closely afterwards. I swear someone is in your room every hr or 2. The day you're released to the hotel, they take you to an offsite place to get an xray to check for leaks. (The barium swallow is awful!) Then they bring you back to remove your drain. It's not painful, just a very odd feeling. The only down side to me is that there was nobody with me when I woke up. Of course I didn't know what was going on, so I asked someone, "excuse me, did everything go ok? Am i done?" The response was "No English ". It would have been nice to know what was going on. Otherwise everything was ok. Not much different than an American hospital, just smaller.

I had vag with Tijuana Bariatrics (Dr. Vazquez did mine) on Monday, 2/29. Just got back to Atlanta last night. What hotel will you be staying at? Or do they have a recovery house? Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Feb 29th!! Im so excited! I started my pre op diet 5 days ago....already lost 8 lbs! If only it were easier to do, we wouldn't all need to be sleeved! :-)

Im so glad you're doing well! I fly out sunday, 2/28, surgery is Monday 2/29! I started my pre op diet monday. Its hard. Im starving! Lol. But i know it is worth it! Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

Good, i guess we are in the same boat. I couldn't find anything really, good or bad. Im glad to hear you had a good experience! His partner, Dr Vazquez is actually doing mine, but I'm sure they're both good, since they work together. How are you doing now? How are you feeling? Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I cant wait to hear how surgery went. Hope all was well!

Mandy1, how was your surgery? I am scheduled with the Dr that works with Dr Garcia, Dr Vazquez, on 2/29....Did you like your experience?

Yes! Maybe we can have broth together! :-)
