I'm probably posting in the wrong spot but I shot for the "mexico" angle. Many sleevers have said that the broth they got in Mexico was the best. I'm trying to stock up on things I would need for post-surgery since I work 2 jobs and will not have time to shop when I return.

Does anybody have a recipe for this magical mexican broth?

Was it chicken? Beef? Beans?

Dorrie,

I see I have similar stats to you before surgery. May I ask how much weight you lost in the first 90 days?

I lost about 50 lbs in the first 3 months. After the 5th month, my weight loss really slowed down. I was getting close to goal. Still am working on losing a couple of lbs still. :)

You look great! I would love to loose 50 lbs. in 3 months. Did you exercise alot? My problem with exercise, as usual, is time. I'm going to try to squeeze in the 30 minute walk daily or atleast the 5 flights of steps.

I was really bad about exercise. I would park further in parking lots and I did go to the gym a few times. I really wish I would have exercised for at least 30 minutes a day. :)

If you guys are talking about the broth at Case de Mole (I think that was the name) it was pretty simple, and I think that what made it good was 1.) we were all starving pre op (LOL) and 2.) we were happy to finally eat post op. LOLOL Seriously though, it had rice and cilantro in it and I think that gave it a little extra flavor. (we couldn't eat the solids, though)

I'm sure it was a home made chicken stock with those goodies in it. :) We also had some broth at another restaurant (Omar said they order it as "sick soup" for VSG patients haha!) that was filled with fresh vegetables and fish. It was terrific as well.

Yeah, I am trying to get the whole broth thing straight too, lol! I have heard some go out to eat, but also heard some hotel has the best....dont know if it was the Marriot or the other hotel I hear a lot about?

The broth at the hotel (lucerna) was just bullion cubes. Nothing special. However, the broth ay Cada de Mole was delicious! I agree with Finding Myself, about the pre and post op comment, but the flavor, no matter how simple, was amazing! And the fresh cilantro gave it a tiny crunch that was very refreshing since, for some of us had been on a purely liquid diet for over two weeks. Id give my big toe for some of that broth right now! ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
