If you were sleeved in Mexico add me I can help you!I



Recommended Posts

I am shocked at the lack of support there is for people who have been sleeved in Mexico. I helped a lady from Montana who was literally dying get on track and healthy. I m willing to help any way I can! You need to know how to eat properly. Add me and ask me any thing and if I don't know the. answer I will find it. I am almost 6 months post surgery and have lost 102lbs

I am so glad that you just posted that because I was thinking the same thing. I talked with the nutritionist and she said I should be eating sugar free pudding sugar-free Jell-O sugar-free yogurt and sugar-free drinks. I'm the type of person that would rather juice my own juice make a smoothie in my vita mix it with some Protein Powder and make some homemade Soups. I get the worst heartburn when I drink those prepackaged shakes.

I am three weeks out tomorrow what should my daily diet look like

Jenn are you drinking Protein drinks? Find Premier Protein they are really good. You should also be eating soft foods like scrambled eggs and cottage cheese. You are getting heartburn because you aren't eating right. 1oz is all you should be doing 5-6 x per day and drink your Protein Drink in between. No veggies, fruits or meat right now. Make sure you sip and not gulp. No straws! Your goal is 65gms of Protein daily so try to do 5-10 each meal then your drink is 15gms. Tiny bites. I hope this helps.

I was sleeved in Mexico in July. I've lost 35 lbs and my bmi has gone from obese to overweight to normal with that weight loss. I'm beyond excited!!

I am at a 2 week long stall so that is frustrating tho.

I was checking into it. I had a lap band since 2/2008 and just had it removed 7/27/2015. I had severe reflux and throw up most of the time developed aspiration pneumonia, the last 6 months. It is so nice to be able to eat again. But I am gaining wt. fast.

Insurance will only cover 1 Wt loss surgery in a lift time. I was looking at Mexico for the sleeve. What worries me is most Docs who don't do the surgery will not take you as a pt. And if you have problems later you would be in a mess. How about you? do you have a Dr. at home??? Lanie

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
