to my hispanic sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I'm not Hispanic, but a Puerto Rican friend made me some red Beans (seasoned with adobo, sazon, etc.) and I mixed in some cooked ground turkey, absolute heaven! My sleeve loved it! I didn't even have to mash it up, I just chewed real well. I can eat 4-5 ounces and it's full of Protein. She showed me how to make it, so it will definitely be something I'll eat a lot of.

I'm Hispanic, Mexican and yes I still cook with the same sazon as before no problems here. I've had luck with my sleeve nothing bothers it. Except chicken the first 6 weeks was to heavy now I could eat it just fine.

I'm Puerto Rican and I still use adobo to season my food. I even make quinoa almost how I made arroz amarillo. I've haven't had frituras yet because I know I can't have just one! Lol

My wife is Cuban/ West Indian and quite frequently uses adobo and sazon to season food. I also use it when cooking Caribbean food.

Yes I still use all of the same seasoning in my cooking, but I haven't had any tostones or anything like that yet and probably won't for a long while. So delicious but so bad for us and part of the reason I needed this surgery in the first place, lol! I did make some mangu the other day (boiled, mashed, seasoned plantains) and it went down fine, but I could only have a tiny bit.

Good luck!

I tolerate pernil and pork chops just fine, just in very small portions.

As a Puerto Rican rice is made in my home almost everyday, so I thought for sure this lifestyle change was going to be so hard, but so far so good. I don't miss it and watching the scale go down is much more satisfying!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
