Mexico Man Update



Recommended Posts

The man from Mexico has lost 200 pounds and has 770 to go. They have him on The Zone diet which is a Protein diet. Says he will continue with that unless he gets stuck and then will consider surgery. Says it was not only over eating it was also a hormonal problem.

well good for him. i find it a little amusing that he has some of the finest surgeons in the world doing the surgery in his own backyard, but he wanted some surgeons from europe to do the surgery, and they decided not to do it cause he is too big.

can he stand now that he has lost the 200? or is he still immobile?

hehehe See I motivate people to get up and do things. I should join the circuit with Tony Robbins. LOL Thanks for the info. I would imagine they want him up and moving on his own before doing the surgery, just so that he doesn't form circulation problems.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
