Watch what you're eating. I cant tolerate some foods, they give me an ache too for 20 minutes. Watch and see if its something you're eating.
I took 2 weeks off. My job consist sitting, walking, lifting. I am glad I took 2 weeks off. I can remember feeling weak during recovery. If your job is mostly sitting you might be just fine. Good...
My wife and I both crossed the border with our drivers license and our birth certificates, we had no problems getting home. No passport needed.
You're going to lose a lot of weight. I started at 380 and have lost 170 pounds without even trying. No dieting, counting calories, or fat free sugar free for me. I only followed "tinmans" rule of...
Im pretty sure after 3 weeks I was nibbling on canned soup. Canned soup is cooked pretty good and easy to eat. I must have eaten every flavor my local Vons carried. I didnt really follow my surgeons...
Im in the same boat as you. Started at 380 im now about 15 months post op. Down to about 211. Weight loss has slowed/stopped for the last 3 months. Like you said I am okay if I dont lose anymore but...
I use mens multi vitamin from walgreens. I also use calcium, iron, and b12 sublingual. All cheap walgreens/CVS vitamins. Sometimes walgreens has a BOGO and I stock up. My blood work has come back...
I took off 2 week after my surgery with Dr Almanza. My work requires standing and lifting so I was glad to have another week. One week should be okay for a desk type job. My wife and I crossed the...
I went with my wife, but would have gone alone if needed. We used facebook messenger to communicate to everyone and each other because the hotel and the hospital both had free wifi. I would make sure...
Of course you can drink milk as long as your stomach can tolerate it. I have cereal once in a while, but I dont drink theleft over milk. I use half and half in my coffee every morning.
Mmmmmm Cheese Enchiladas are my favotite right now.
Yes it slowed down for me at about 8 months too. I am still losing weight at 13 months post op,it's just way slower. I will sit at a weight for a month then all of a sudden lose 5 more pounds in one...
Yes , paying the deposit probably locks in your date. I had a great experience with Dr Almanza in TJ.
If I were young, I would look into it. I am almost 50 and married so I am just going to live with my extra skin.
I have tried unjury and it was good. My go to right now is: https://www.rawdynamix.com/whey-protein/
They have other flavors/ and types of protein powders. Protein shakes make me gag. I use 1 scoop...
I was 380 when I started. I lost 5 pounds on preop diet. I was sleeved in Mexico.
I personally need solid food in order to stay full. I drink coffee with a scoop of plain unsweetened protein powder in it. An hour or two later it's Greek yogurt. I'm hungry an hour or so til lunch...
Search the fourms for 3 week stall. Happens to just about all of us. Its normal, the weight loss will continue in a bit as long as you keep up with your water and protein.
Everyone is different. I eat, and yes 2 hours later I am hungry again. The key is we eat so much less now. When your hungry and you want to wait another hour try a cup of tea. I used to drink a cup...
Not to many of us sleeved people regret having surgery. Most people comment that they wish they had done it sooner. I have lost a lot of weight and ate what ever I wanted.
I worked through 2 weeks of pre op diet. It was hard but I survived. Probably was easier at work were my mind was busy. 1 year out find I still find I do better at work than at home with all the food...
I think we are all scared about the surgery. I was even scared of doing it in Mexico. I had a very positive experience with Dr Almanza, and would do it again in a heartbeat. As for smoking, a lot of...
My doctor took me off some of my Meds for diabetes. After my next A1C he will probably take me off one more. That will leave me taking only metformin once a day.
I agree with Tinman. I lost my drive for a month or more after surgery.I am now back with a vengeance. My wife loves the extra drive i have now. I last longer, and it appears to be longer too. Hang...
