  1. From 360 to 315 lbs.Back in gym doing full workout and Feeling great .Eating pretty much a most protein diet,mostly chicken fish (Poke) ground turkey and occasional red meat.I experienced some painful constipation for about a week but after Metamucil and another stool softener I'm back to normal.The numbness is mostly gone from my legs.All in all I'm feeling great and can't wait to get under 300 lbs.Hope everyone is well.Thanks Tijuana Bariatrics,Dr Garcia and especially Dr Velazco for answering all my questions after surgery.You guys are the best and changed my life. ruben trujillo

    mild sleep apnea - I'm pissed

    I went to Tijuana Bariatrics and saw Dr Fernando Garcia......he is the best and avoid all that Cpap bullshit.....Look at my "3 weeks post op " post ......I sleep all night and no longer snore.Thank you Dr Garcia!!
  3. Please read my 3 weeks post op post.At the end of the day you know yourself.Follow that clear liquid diet religiously the first week after and then follow the liquid diet(shakes,drinkable yogurt) the second week and your scot free....make adjustments according to how you feel.But then I went to Mexico to Dr Fernando Garcia at Tijuana Bariatrics and he's the best!
  4. Today was my first day lifting weights.Did chest and tris at about 2/3 my old weight.Keep in mind I wasn't power lifting doing lighter weight with higher reps.It felt amazing.Ive been at the gym since day 1 but only on a treadmill.My diet it mostly high Protein with minimal carbs (oatmeal,fruit) Yesterday I had a couple small bites of bread,pasta but I am still consuming yogurt and protein shakes.Peanut butter has been a huge help and I started eating turkey lunch meat with a small piece of string cheese.This new journey is amazing it feels great never being stuffed.I sleep all night,I used to wake up to Pee at least 4 times a night and i also don't snore anymore.My energy is way way up.I was having leg numbness issues but that is slowly improving.As of today my only issue is slight constipation from the high protein diet but Metamucil nightly with another stool softener is helping a lot.I hope you all are doing well on your journeys.My results/reaction or whatever you want to call it are working for me.Find your groove and be patient.

  6. Dev fernando Garcia Tijuana Bariatrics.Best Doc hands down and his staff from his drivers,DRS,and nursing staff are top shelf.
  7. MrsDaniel and I were there together and we raced around the walk area!!!!How are you doing?
  8. I'm 3 weeks post op down 40 lbs and rolling.Ibwent to Dr Fernando Garcia.Him,his Drs,his staff were all amazing.Anwered every question beforehand and after surgery as well.When I was there every person I saw that used another Dr was having issues holding fluids or throwing up.Allnhis patients were up and about walking smoothly.I highly Recommend Tijuana Bariatrics and Dr Garcia.Inalready have multiple friends starting the process with him.

    Full?

    You don't get "full" that **** slowly flows right through.So get used to some minor hunger pangs wait til you get into drinkable yogurt huge help
  13. Bro I think I'm like you I feel better when I get something in me.I chew real well.I haven't tried breads or vegetables I had a couple licks of Hummus and it was amazing!I wish I could eat a pita with it.Takenit easy though last thing we want is to hurt out stitches/staples and get leakage.Keep feeling good.
  14. I feel great.Down about 20 lbs, my legs are still tingly I get that burning sensation when I lay flat.Im having no issues drinking protein or keeping creamy soup down.My only problem is I get hungry and want to test the waters.Hope all is well.
