Thank you so much. Would you mind sending it to my email? My address is [email protected] I'm going to try to not have a revision. I feel like my sleeve still works I just want a little extra help. I really appreciate it! Julie
Well, I just got off the phone with the MD owner of PatchMD, who was kind enough to return my call this morning. I ran down the list above, and he said he's seen great lab results from people in my position who use 1 of the Multivitamin patches, 1 of the Vit D patches and 1 of the B complex patches per day.
So, I'm going to order and try these and see what the lab results are over the next year. I'll post again with results as I go along. Keeping my fingers crossed that this regimen will really live up to the claims - and logically, I believe it should. Time will tell, as with everything in this arena!
Hi Julie - I've been back for about 10 days now after revision surgery. I had my VSG 4 years ago. I was at about the same weight as you are now before this revision. Do you know how to do attachments on this website? I could scan the current diet regimen I brought home with me and attach it to you, perhaps via PM? I've never tried doing that before, but maybe it's possible if we're "friends"? Or, I could upload it somewhere in the cloud, if there's a storage spot with share facility. Just let me know. Good luck!
Don't buy anything like that right now... you won't need them for quite awhile... 8 weeks generally for solid food and even then bars are usually quite a bit down the road. They would be bricks ;)
Essentially powdered peanut butter is defatted peanut butter (80-90% of the fat is removed) so you are left with a peanut flour (corn starch-ish consistency) and yep a nice addition to shakes, yogurt, oatmeal, etc. Watch additives... I have not looked at the stats of Jif but I'd venture to guess they add sugar... I prefer Chike PB flavor wise (very good quality nuts I think) or PB2... anyway they are both online, PB2 I have seen in Costco from time to time too.
Trust me though don't buy too much... you truly are eating tablespoons for awhile... broth in a box, make some homemade and freeze in ice cube trays, water, a good whey isolate protein... I love the new Celebrate Vitamins Protein 20 line. Hope this helps a bit :)
Best wishes on your upcoming surgery. You are welcome to check out my blog link in signature and on profile page for some post op tips and recipes, etc.
I had my vsg done by dr Aceves on March 18,2010. I got down to 160 and have slowly gained back 25lbs. I really am wanting to get that back off and was wondering if anyone is a recent patient of Mexicali bariatric clinic had an updated post op diet? I would like to see other diets from other clinics as well. Thank you!!

The result of this study refutes the prevailing theory – for a body to lose fat it requires a decrease in insulin production and a release of stored fat from fat tissue, thus increasing the burning of body fat.
Hey everyone!
I was just revised to a DS, and am getting a little dizzy trying to figure out how to configure the vitamins and supplements I need. I'd like to use patches as much as possible, or chewables, to cut down on the number of pills, as I already have a fair number of other daily meds I take.
Here's the breakdown of what Mexicali Bariatric is specifying:
Multi-vitamin: 2 per day (I'm going to email and ask what the vitamin/mineral composition they're assuming; it's not specified)
Zinc lozenge gel caps: 50 mg every 3rd day
Iron liquid/shots (fasting): 100mg oral daily; 100mg intramuscular 1x/month
Calcium citrate: 1200 mg 2x day
Vit D: 2000IU daily, or 500,000IU weekly
Vit A: 10,000IU daily
Vit K: 200 mcg daily
Vit E: 250 IU daily
B complex sublingual: 1 per week, or 1 shot per month
Thanks for helping me sort this out! Also, where do you go for your shots? Are there any alternatives to your PCP?
hi there,
pb2 is a different product then the jig powder. it is very tasty.
quest bar is an excellent bar... 20 grams of protein, 5 carbs 180 cals, and 17 grams of fiber. they have a ton of flavors. my fav is the pb and strawberry jelly,
i like a iced tea protein drink by nectar... 24 grams of protein.
on the website syntax you can get many samples very cheap.. by single packets till you find a flavor you like.
good luck on the surgery. GBP is the best thing i ever did for myself.
