They remove the stomach. Look at the posting called "Greetings from tijuana" It has a pic of the stomach they removed from her just the other day.

I definitely want a pic of my stomach.

Ursiboo72 I won't be sleeved until May 7th but I am sure you will be in good handds. We have chosen the same surgeon for a reason lol. I cannot wait until my day comes and I am sure you feel the same way.

Great I am going to get some for the liquid phase so I can get my protein easier. Thanks for the info!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!

What flavor did you have?

I agree with Lbeauty. Just hang in there make sure you are drinking enough fluids, protein and walking. It will start back up again.

No it doesn't. Are you weighing everyday? You should only weigh once a week. Also are you taking your antacid meds like prevacid. Acid in the stomach can make you feel hungry even when you are NOT having heartburn. You lost 21lbs already! That is great. Do not panic and relax everything will work.

I would think you could if you didn't take a bite and swallow it lol. Just eat it slow like a popsicle. I also was told to get some small sticks and put bananas on them and freeze them like popsicles. If you like bananas that would be good too. I think they are considered full liquids but you are starting that tomorrow anyway.

Have you tried the sugar free fudgesicles?

I am having surgery on May 7th also in Tijuana with Dr. Garcia!

I hear ya. I am not sure if there is one though.

I am having surgery with Dr. Garcia May 7th! We will be in Tijuana at the same time!

Thank you. I saved it on my computer.

I know exactly what you mean lol. I have my appt May 7th. I too am scared shitless lol.

Thank you I will check into the unjury.

I don't know. I have seen people talk about it also. I bought the shots for the liquid phase. They have 26grams of protein for a 3 ounce shot.

I just bought regular chicken and beef broth from walmart. I also got my protein shots from walmart. They have several different name brands. I think I paid $10 for 6 in a box. They taste better cold.

Congratulations and we are praying for you and your friends.

I am so happy for you!! That is great! I am thanking God also for this opportunity to start my life over!

Are any of you taking anything like prevacid or nexium? I heard that even if you do not have the feeling of reflux or heartburn that the hunger pains can be caused from excess acid in the stomach. The prevacid or nexium type medicines are supposed to quiet that feeling down. That is just what my research has told me. I hope it helps.

I would ask for an itemized estimate of any out of pocket expenses after the expected amount the insurance should pay. Surely the doctors office has done this enough to be able to tell you what your benefits will probably cover and how much you should have to pay out of pocket.

Congrats!!

I am so happy for you!! I was wondering who won. I voted for you and your videos have helped me alot in making my decision to get sleeved. Congrats! Cannot wait to see the make over pictures! Have a great time.

On my diet list of foods at 3 days I can go on full liquids which inludes pudding, yogurt and cream of wheat ect.
