sleeve

Had sleeve in july 09 no after care at all with this dr i had do it ...it sucks and i lost some weight not much need help how to do this right....losing it

Carie - What progress is any have you made since surgery? As you know, VSG is a purely restrictive operation and like all other WLS is can be eaten around. I'm still less then 2 months out from my VSG but have had pretty good progress to date. I'm only taking in around 850 calories a day. I was told that women need to be around 750. Do you know your daily caloric intake? Also, I would try posting on the VSG board here to get more VSG specific info.

Hi Bryan i had sleeve done in july 09 and i hav lost about 50 lbs i can eat but not like i used too help with any info im depressed about this

Carie, Didn't your doctor provide you with any nutritional counselling so you would know how/what to eat at what stage of your recovery?

MJ

no sweetie they  just shot me a email...and im at a lose help any info im depressed

Did that email not have a diet guideline?

That doctor is a world different from ours. :o/

Well, what are you doing now?  How many calories?  How many protein grams are you consuming daily?  How many white carbs?  How many total carbs are you eating?  Are you tracking your food?  Where?

We need a bit of a starting point and we can help, no problem!

I wonder if patients going to Dr. Almanza Reyes because he is so inexpensive know they will have no nutritional counselling ahead of time...  This is awful!!

I think you need to get a grip. People going to Mexico should know there will not be a lot of nutritional follow-up.

I got a post op guideline from my coordinator while I was still pre op and got a 4 page handout for post op issues while I was in Mexico.

The original poster says she got a email with instructions. Wonder why she didn't use that?
