I was dead set on doing keto after surgery and my surgeon and nutritionist are not totally supportive. They both explained that our bodies do not absorb the nutrients in food the same after surgery and because we take in smaller portions we do not want to exclude healthy food groups. They believe a well balanced diet is a healthier option. But of course number 1 rule eat protein first. Me personally I believe whatever works for you and makes you happy healthy and successful on your journey is what is right for you. Sent from my SM-J327T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have been living on both sides of the border for 8 years and get all my healthcare in Mex. I had my sleeve done in Mexicali by Dr Juan Francisco Arellano. I am receiving excellent care by Dr Arellano and his team. I had my sleeve done on 12/20/17 after care up to one year is completely covered in the cost of the surgery. I am able to reach the surgeon directly if needed 24/7. Dr Arellano is very dedicated to the success of each patient. Sent from my SM-J327T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I think divorce after wls would be more prevalent in a co-dependent relationship. Roles change and insecurities arise causing all sorts of issues. Sent from my SM-J327T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the same issues I now eat 3 prunes every other day and things seem to be moving fine now. I also noticed if I do 45 minutes on the treadmill it helps to wake up the bowels. I know I know omg all the sugar in the prunes...it works and it is natural so I am ok with it. Sent from my SM-J327T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved by Dr. Arellano with Mexico Bariatric Team in Mexicali. Wonderful surgeon and great team of people. His surgery price includes one year of follow ups and he is available night and day with any issue question or concern you may have. I had my surgery 12/20 without complications.

I am 4 weeks almost 5 out and have a super strict NUT. She has me on full liquids at least until the 31st of this month. I am going crazy seeing people say at 2 or 3 weeks they are on soft food. This too shall pass. Sent from my SM-J327T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved Dec 20th and I seem to be in a stall. So frustrating but apparently it is normal. I think I will stay off the scale until I see my NUT on 1/31. Hw 274 Sw 252 Cw 228 Sent from my SM-J327T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

[emoji6] The article states exactly what you are saying it is a suppressant but by being a suppressant and causing you to skip a meal or burn off an enormous amount of energy in the end it could have the opposite effect because your body is now in starvation mode. No problem and thank you. I think I should have been more descriptive in my first post. Sent from my SM-J327T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my sleeve done in Mexicali. I have lived in both TJ and Mexicali it is not as crazy as the news makes it out to be. I have had better care in Mexico than I have by US doctors. Good luck and much success. Sent from my SM-J327T1 using BariatricPal mobile app
