Nutrition Plans From Mexico?



Recommended Posts

I suppose this could apply to any of the Doctors in Mexico, but do they give you a plan to follow before leaving Mexico, And do they give guidelines for when you may resume certain activities in writing?

Mine did as well. I also got a note form him for work. It worked out just fine.

I didn't really like the nutrition plan though, it focused too much on fruits for me, so I adjusted based on what others had gotten. I still kept to the 2 - 3 weeks liquids though and then mushies for 2 weeks and so on.

Dr. Kelly emails pre op and post op instructions and gives you a booklet to take home after surgery.

I also got detailed instructions for when I returned home from diet to activites. They give you a packet with all the information you need to understand what you have to do to succeed.

I was emailed one and given one after surgery, but I ended up going with another one which had a lot more information that was given to me at a seminar I attended in the US. I can email you a copy if you PM me.

Thanks sunny! I'm going to pass on this for the time being, as I've got some things I need to do before surgery, and I still have to make my date with Dr. Kelly. And from what I understand he'll supply the info I'll need to do this properly at that time. But I appreciate it!

Grammy, I have Dr K's post op guide, and its pretty good. If you have any questions you can msg me, pre and post op! Also, Omar is wonderful for filling in any gaps/questions you might have, I just spoke to him today, he always finds time for us post op patients as well!

      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! 😞
