Wow. I am glad you are sharing this because people need honest reviews. I went with Dr. Garcia in Tijuana and my experience at CER hospital sounds almost opposite! I hope you recover well and reach your goals. Again, thank you for sharing. I think that it is important. HW 420 SW 347 CW 300 Sleeved April 10, 2017

My surgeons office has a generic calorie guide of about 600 calories for my stage (3 months post op). I struggle to go that low- I generally end up around 800-900. I am still losing... Should I be limiting myself more? I am eating healthy- non starchy, high protein, low fat. Thoughts? I just want to make sure I am making the most of my honeymoon period.

Keep going. Walk walk walk. Looks like you and I have similar numbers! HW 420 SW 347 CW 310 Sleeved April 10, 2017

Practice. I weighed everything the forst couple weeks. Now I can eyeball it. But I intend to weigh every couple weeks to make sure I dont lose track. HW 420 SW 347 CW 313 Sleeved April 10, 2017

Amazing! HW 420 SW 347 CW 318 Sleeved April 10, 2017

Pea soup... Cooked up peas and chicken thigh (boneless skinless), seasoned and pureed the heck out of it. It tasted pretty good. HW 420 SW 347 CW 318 Sleeved April 10, 2017

Thank you!!! I am 58 days PO and feeling discouraged but I am right on schedule according to this! HW 420 SW 347 CW 318 Sleeved April 10, 2017

I was okayed for soft raw veggies by 30 days... HW 420 SW 347 CW 319 Sleeved April 10, 2017

Pre surgery (about 2 years ago) I did low carb and went water walking/jogging daily... Lost 100lbs. Didnt keep up the low carb or the jogging and thus the surgery... But I did find the water jogging to be awesome for my bad knees... So much so that over time my knees are fine now! It helps build muscle too! I park myself in water just up to my chest and jog back and forth. I love it! HW 420 SW 347 CW 319 Sleeved April 10, 2017

Bottom line: everyBODY is different. If we knew what sort of diet worked for everyone I doubt anyone would need WLS. Listen to your brain and your gut and your new tiny stomach. In my opinion. HW 420 SW 347 CW 319 Sleeved April 10, 2017

I would count what is called "net carbs" which is total carbs minus fiber. There can be carbs in fiber but since we can't digest it, it doesnt count. HW 420 SW 347 CW 321 Sleeved April 10, 2017

Ive never heard it explained like that. I knew I was using diet coke to wash stuff down but I hadnt made the connection to not eating/drinking after my sleeve. Now that I know WHY I am going to totally up my game there! HW 420 SW 347 CW 321 Sleeved April 10, 2017

Thank you. I needed to hear that. HW 420 SW 347 CW 321 Sleeved April 10, 2017

I had mine done in Tijuana with Tijuana Bariatrics... Dr. Fernando Garcia. The process was fabulous. The staff at the hospital professional and the follow-up has been amazing. HW 420 SW 347 CW 323 Sleeved April 10, 2017

I'm attending some day long meetings coming up and I will not have access to a refrigerator or microwave for my meals or snacks. Most people will be eating out... I will likely have to bring a couple protein shakes but does anyone have any ideas for easy take-along snacks? *not allowed nuts or crackers or beef jerky yet...
