Where's my fellow Latina/o/x sleevers at?



Recommended Posts

Coming to you live from San Antonio, TX.

Just saying hey because I know how it is with a big Mexican fam that like to eat big around the holidays. It's in our culture!

Tamales, pastel de rosca, tacos galore, ooo elote.

Will we ever be able to have èlote again? This is a hot topic for me

Six days post op and would kill for some tacos de trompo.

I am a dser and hispanic boy do i know about them holidays just went through my first it was tuff but i did it. Eventually you will be able to have some of the foods back you may have to tweek them to make them better but everything in moderation. Also it depends on your sleeve and what you can tolerate some folks on here are saying that there taste buds changed or that their sleeves do not tolerate some of the foods they loved.

Mexicana de corazón here! My surgery is scheduled 1/30/17 in Dallas and I have been on my liquid diet a week and a half. I'm with you on the taco cravings! I work across the street from a Mexican restaurant and when I go to my car after work, I smell fried tortillas, chips, and gorditas ????????????

Started making healthier Mex food for the family so they are ready when I finish my surgery! Shrimp cocktail tonight!!

      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.
