  1. Had my surgery 2/22.... No regrets but I want to eat but then I think I got the surgery so I couldn't eat...the drinking at first took a lot of walking and patting my chest now I can drink with out that feeling in my chest. I want to eat I got clearence from my doc to move to soft foods.... I love my sleeve no pain no complications.... I just want to eat a Lil bit....
  2. I would drink and didn't get the full feeling I wasn't hungry either but recently I drunk to much Water and I knew I had to much I felt full but my hunger has returned full force I'm hungry and the liquids wasn't keeping me statisfied.. But that was my first week I wasn't hungry at all so when I would drink I couldn't tell if I was full or not because I wasn't drinking that much but as soon as I did 4 oz I realized what full was. My sleeve is tricky....I've moved to soft diet had a crab leg today and I was full I was a Lil scared but it went down ok
  3. I had that problem with liquids going down I would stand and walk around take small sips then pat my chest and burp myself... It has eased up now I can sip more with out getting that feeling but I have to keep burping myself like I'm a baby... Hope you get some answers welcome to the losers bench......
  4. Congrats welcome to the losers bench where there is all ways room for one more......

My friend that came with me she was so impressed with the service that she says she is going to have it done as well... there were four people that had surgery on my date and we all were walking and having a good time like we hadnt had surgery it was unbelieveable for me because I was being a big baby .....woke up in recovery asking did I have the surgery....because I had no feelings of soreness pain anything had one instance of nausea and they fixed that quick....the nurses was happy to help you. always checking on ya... just all around good people. Rosie and Melisa came to the hotel to check on us even brought me a gift said I was a good patient some lotion from bath and bodyworks.....they were so sweet called checked on me and everything I could go on and on but I think my picture has been drawn.....Good luck on weight loss Ive lost 11.4 pounds
  11. hello I was right behind shoelover she actually calmed me when I seen how good she was doing needless to say I had surgery it was a breeze no pain no complications nothing had nausea one time they quickly fixed that I was feeling like I hadnt even had surgery i had to look at my stomach to make sure it was done...The nurses was very attentive...always checking on me. stayed at the marroitt which was very nice the room was so peaceful and clean all in all Dr Fernando Garcia Govea gets an A+ in my book some say he's new......but he knew his stuff and i had a painless surgery...he even took a picture of my stomach that was removed because my friend was scared to. I am glad I choose him....

  15. Had my surgery with Dr. Garcia the best..... On surgery day I weighed 211.4 weighed myself tonight upon getting home I weigh 200.....doing the happy dance...... I guess it's from the liquids and all the walking I've done in the past couple of days but I'm do excited ready for onederland...
  16. My two week diet was hard for me and just like you family would just pig out in my face I would do good until I smelled the food I cheated a couple of times thou.... But now that I'm 5dpo I smell the food and just know its not an option..... The last 3 days of the diet being all liquid was extremely hard but them the last day I got Tom tortilla soup broth and a v8 splash juice and that was the fullest I felt in days..... Good luck to ya
