    Calories

    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.

  2. 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

    Measuring Food

    Help with puréed foods

    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

    How much has somebody lost just from swimming?

    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

    Do you HAVE to follow a low carb diet?

    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

    Count all carbs

    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

    Almost 10 years later

    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

  14. 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...

    Surgery in Mexico

    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

    3 months post op hungry

    I was having that issue so I am giving up the protein shakes. Keeping them for convience or travel when I dont have chicken breast or cottage cheese handy. HW 420 SW 347 CW 325 Sleeved April 10, 2017
  19. I enjoyed my food funeral and found it to be a good part of the process. I also made myself a lot more aware of when/what and why I had chosen to eat things. HW 420 SW 347 CW 327 Sleeved April 10, 2017

    Weird periods?

    This surgery is one of the reasons I had this surgery. No period for over a year unless medically induced. I was hoping I woulf get one this month because I hate having to take pills for it to come. Alas nothing. I guess I should justvtake my progesterone and carry one.
