So on Wednesday 12/7/16 I had my gastric sleeve with Dr. Almanza in Tijuana, MX. Everything went smoothly and I experienced no complications just mild pain with soreness... completely normal. The hospital, doctor, and nurses were phenomenal and exceeded all of my expectations. It is definitely different than the states and just requires an open flexible mind. Overall I am so pleased with the process. I arrived home yesterday and am feeling great and 17 lbs down!!! I still can't believe it! I have 5 days to rest and recuperate before returning to work.
I do have a QUESTION for the experienced sleevers, how soon after surgery did you begin getting the recommended protein in? I am doing great with my fluids but not up there with my protein. I am wondering, is the lack of protein in my diet this early on okay? I do not feel fatigue or tired however I am not doing much just resting and walking 1.5 mile twice daily since 2 days post op.
Thank you everyone, the support and questions this page has answered through this process has been wonderful!
