Hi everyone! My surgery was 2/26, 6 weeks out today. I only lost 13 pounds so far and I am not able to meet either water or protein requirement. I was a low BMI with heart disease & severe high blood pressure.. I am so discouraged right now, any advise??

I had surgery with Dr Garcia 2/26/14. Florence hospital. Had a great experience. No pain, great recovery. Will recommend in a hearth bit!!!

How do you make the lentil soups?

Lucky you! I have been struggling with food/ liquid.. Even the protein I cannot tolerate. Well maybe after I pass the 2 weeks mark tomorrow things will get better..

Hi Dezba how are you feeling so far? How is it going with your diet?

Lost 15 pounds since 2/26 day of surgery, I was not required to do the preop diet cause of low bmi

so happy to hear that you are doing better with the protein! you know, that's essential to not feeling me I'm getting worn out so quickly. well, effective hydration counts a lot there too. Congratulations to your twin also. I'm glad both of you guys are doing well. And eventually you'll catch up :-)When was your surgery? How much have you lost?

Thank you Moite1. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks out for me. I am still taking baby steps with food/liquids. Protein used to gag me but I was able to keep about 3oz down this am. I feel weak and dizzy most of the time. My twin had the sleeve here on February 12, tomorrow is 4 weeks out for her and she is doing GREAT! So there is hope

I was sleeved 2/26 by Dr Garcia Fernando, I went alone through R4Achange. They exceeded all my expectations!!!! From the airport, hotel to Florence hospital everything was so well organized. All his team spoke great english and the care I received was so much better than anything here in the states. Let me not forget Samuel the driver, Eduardo hospital coordinator and Irene onsite coordinator(so sweet). I never felt alone in TJ. I will recommend Dr Garcia to anyone planning this trip. One week out today! Nausea is killing me so I can't get a lot in, even liquid...any advise??
