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

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.

Hi BeccaLayne

I would love to add you ...how do i add you? I haven't done this before i'm pretty new to this,

I leave this friday the 18th and I am having my surgery that day and I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Please let me know if there is anything important not to forget to pack or do before i go. I will be asking more questions after surgery :rolleyes:

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.

My surgery is October 10. Just thought my pre-op diet this Monday. And I would love some advice and just someone to reach out to if I do you have any questions. Thank you.

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

I only know what I have experienced with my friend and she did not have any support and I was happy to be able to help her. Not bashing MX in any way
