Having Surgery Nov 23rd DR Aceves



Recommended Posts

Congrats to both of you. Even if you don't meet anyone before your surgery, the wing you will be in is all Dr Aceves patients and so you will be able to get to know each other there. I did not know that Barb and Ursula and Maria were going to be there but we found each other and are continuing to contact each other. You will have a excellent trip/experience. If you are going alone and have questions, pm me and i will give you my email /cell and feel free to text me at any time.

I agree with Norma - I knew Ruthi was going to be there, but didn't know CYates until Lucy said "there's someone else from NV here too" and so I just knocked on her door and introduced myself.

I'm scheduled for the 23rd too, but my surgery will be here in Costa Rica. I look forward to comparing details with you all afterwards!

~ Prayers and best wishes!

Congrats. to all of you. You are gonna love your sleeve.

And those of you who are going to Dr Aceves are going to love him and Dr Campos! You won't believe how much better the care is in Mexico compared to the USA.

Good luck to you too Done! And thanks to everyone for the support. I am getting very excited. I definitely think I am gaining 5 pounds before I go though as I keep making sure to have all my favorite things I think I wont eat for a loooong time. I hope I have the effect of losing my taste for sweets, that would be great. I have been having Bagels, cream of wheat with butter and sugar, oatmeal Cookies, korean bbq, Pasta, Pho, frozen yogurt. But I do feel like I am forcing myself sometimes to eat something a little less healthy even when I would just prefer some fresh pineapple or some green tea. It is wierd. I ordered a couple books on emotional eating that I am going to start reading on the plane on the way to SD. I actually love broth of all types and tea so I hope that helps me get through the liquid phase. I dont however drink sweet drinks so I am a little worried about getting in the Protein. Anyone know of a powder that can be added to broth or tea without too much texture or flavor? most of the Protein Drinks are sweet sounds like.

powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand makes an unflavored and chicken broth Protein mix.

I personally could not tolerate any of the flavors. But, most everyone around knows, that I'm way beyond picky when it comes to protein mixes/powders/drinks.

You can order samples from this following link.

Some people absolutely swear by Unjury, but it just wasn't for me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
