you appear to be doing great. My surgery was July 1 also. I was 178.5 on the day of surgery. As of today, I'm 173.4.

I had my surgery July 1. As of now, I'm having Greek yogurt, all types of soup, water and protein shakes. Like you, I feel my sleeve gets empty fast. I must get that water in when this happens instead of eating more.

I am 13 days post op and I feel I need help. My surgery was July 1 in puerto vallarta mexico. Needless to say, there is no post op follow up visits. I feel there is no accountability• I did great on pre op....no cheating at all. However, I feel I am not doing right post op. Twice a day, I use my nutri bullet to blend my premier protein shake with strawberries. I take all my vitamins whole( no chewable or liquids). Vitamins: biotin, calcium, multivitamin, vitamin d3, and b12. I usually have some type of cream soup.... But I have once had nachos/cheese, small piece of chicken wrap, fries, and veggies chips. Other than cramps after eating, I feel ok. Advice!

LOL! No ma'am, I did not get sick. I has 3 small fries. Actually, the first one I chewed and spit out but ate the other 2. No more mistakes for me!

thanks! I needed to read this. I was beginning to think that I was the ONLY one on this entire forum that has ever messed up. I'm back on track.

thanks for the positive support.

Chicken and beef broth, premier protein shakes, powerade zero, and lots of water. Good luck! Continue to read on this forum as it is great. I was sleeved July 1 in puerto vallarta mexico

not was not the case at all. In my opinion, I had a great surgeon in puerto vallarta with a nutritionist who gave me all the info I needed for post op. The post was written bc I had made some mess ups and I needed support from you guys to put me back on track so I wouldn't sink. My apologies for any misunderstandings.

this thread was written not to criticize what happens when you have surgery in Mexico. I mentioned that surgery was in Mexico bc I do not go for follow up visits there. You make it sound like having surgery there is a joke. The point I was making was that I have suffered some shortcomings with post op. As mentioned, i drink protein shakes, take vitamins, and eat soup. However, one day I did eat 2 nacho/cheeses off my daughters plate. I ate 3 fries once. I had a piece of my hubby's wrap. I could have done the same thing if I had surgery in Texas. I appreciate support to keep me focused. I tested the waters. Yes, I did. However, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has. I just wanted support from you guys to get me back on track.

thanks so much for the kind words and great advice. Today after I posted that thread, i prayed, went to church, and am not focused on doing well.

thanks! Where can I find the book on here?

you are absolutely right. I appreciate your advice and will learn and grow from this. I'm so thankful for a caring support group.

yes! I needed to read this. I need to stay on this forum reading like I was doing pre surgery. Thanks so much for your testimony. I haven't gone completely off the deep end but I needed to make a thread before I did.

he provided guidelines. I really needed to post this so that I could get back on track. Thanks for keeping me focused!

gastric sleeve

Hi! I will be traveling to puerto vallarta on June 29th to have the gastric sleeve performed by Dr. Joya. If you had this procedure, please share your experience. Experience with dr. Joya , his staff, how was the hospital, how did they handle follow up, meaning did they check on you. Did you hear from them after you left mexico . Any info you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

are they like cramps? I get those feelings on my left side right after I drink a shake. I take my gas and acid meds and feel better.

of course we will! Welcome

yay! I'm sleeved day 10. Feeling good

Good morning new sleevers! I was sleeved July 1st. I have been experiencing cramp feelings on my left side. This starts mostly after i drink my shakes. Has anyone else experience this? I also went walking this morning and felt light cramps.

you will do fine. Say a prayer to God before surgery. Remember He will never leave you not forsake you.

Hi! I was sleeved on July 1 in puerto vallarta mexico as a self pay. At the time of surgery, my BMI was. 34.86. I'm short (5.0) and carry my weight in the mid section. I am happy to report that I had zero complications from surgery. I woke up, walked around, and felt pretty good. I spent additional days in PV and was able to do a lot of walking with my family with no problems at all. I started full liquids today and had cream of broccoli soup which was yummy. I also started my premier protein shakes.

no worries! You will be fine. Good luck. Soon to be sleeved!!!

DITTO on starving! I make the soup broth but then 20 minutes later, I'm hungry again. I've been drinking apple juice and water but I'm so tired of it. Maybe next week will be better with protein shakes, yogurts, and cream soups. Other than hungry, I feel pretty good. No complications whatsoever
