loving my sleeve. down 92# since surgery, 121 since pre op diet. Now trying to stop losing weight, never thought i would be trying to stop losing or gain a few pounds.

Everyone is different. Just do a little more than you did yesterday. You will get stronger and stronger. You got this.

Hey how are you doing. I hope all is well

At mi hospital, with wife, sister and sister in law. They will all be on the losers bench today. One down two to go. Praying all goes well

Having had my surgery in ths US last november, it was interesting to go with my wife, sister and sister-in-law for their surgery at Mi hospital in Tijuana. I was not feeling to comfortable with the idea prior to us going. Upon arrival in San Diego we driven to the Mariott where we spent the night. The next morning we headed to the hospital. We went to admission and before we were settled in they took the first two for their blood work. My sister went first then my wife and then my sister in law. The hospital was very clean, initally the lanaguge barrior was not a problem. The only two negative things I can say is the info from the operating room was slow coming. I was told my sister was coming out of recovery in one hour, three hours later and no word, three hours after they took my wife still no word on either of them. After they took my sil for her surgery and talking to people in the hall way they told me where to go. I entered the doors leading to the OR and i could see my sister in recovery, then a nurse tells me they are going to move her to her room. While I was in there I also seen my wife in recovery. So had I just waited I don't know how long it would have been before someone told me something. The other negative thing is the nurses give meds out without telling you what they are giving you( some didn't speak good english). some could just didn't tell you what they doing. I am of the opinon that unless you ask for pain meds than they should not give them to you. Just let me choose what you are giving me for pain. Overall the experience was good. My wife and SIL both had hernias repaired and it took a tool on my SIL, she had a rough time due nausea. All three had drains until the night before we left. They had done their research and knew it was going to happen. All three could not wait until they were removed and all said they felt better once it was removed. I had no drain, so i don't know. For the support people going, Their is a covient store and grocery store around the corner. take a right out of hospital at corner take right to convient store OXXO and left to grocery store LEY, there is a cafe in hospital with good food and nice people running it. They do close early on all days and noon on Saturday and closed on Sundays. I know many peoples experiences are different this is what I saw first hand. I would have no problem recommending this service. Just my opinion

All three are resting. Thankfully all came out good so far.

Doing great trying to figure out this maintenance thing. I am struggling to stop losing weight. I am past goal down 90# since surgery, 119# since this journey began. My wife is having the surgery this Friday. Hoping everything goes as well as my surgery>

I agree I have been trying to stop for two weeks now. I have increased my caloric intake, and added more snacks(all healthy), I continue to lose. I'm at a healthy BMI and would like to stop losing but in my mind i think that if I'm not losing I must be gaining . I will up my calories this week again in hopes of finding the middle ground.

Drain tubes are put in during surgery and removed after(in recovery). I did not have a drain, some doctors don't use them. My wife is having the surgery next week inMexico and she will have a drain for one day.

5 month post op and no more cpap!

I some times burn more calories than I consume, I am at goal and still losing so I have up my carbs in the last two weeks . i would not increase anything unless you are having problems.i never increase calories based on what mfp says. I base it strictly on how I feel. Congrats on your hard work paying off!! Sorry the spreadsheet would not paste here correctly.

I agree go to a running shoe store and get fitted. I purchased a pair of brooks and love them. I know everyone is different, it was a good investment.

I had my surgery November 5th and I have reached my revised goal. i would have never thought i could have a normal BMI. I did not think it was physically possible. Love my sleeve!

I track everything. I was taking in about 850 calories per day(just uped to 1000). I burn between 600-1400 calories a day exercising(strictly cardio). Eat Protein first and do one Protein shake a day. I have increased my calories due to increase in exercise. I really wanted to take advantage of the honeymoon period(first six months). Don't know if i will lose anymore or not. Just waiting to see where I will maintain..Good luck on your journey

good luck tomorrow.. I too hope you do as well.. Who Dat!!!

Here is a side by side.
