who all had Dr Fernando Garcia in Tijuana Mexico , and are you happy with your results please post good or bad.

 

I had him 3 weeks ago but I am still hungry all the time

 

how have you done otherwise?

are you feeling better? Tired? Losing weight?

Do you think it is "head hunger"?

I also was sleeved 7 days ago with Dr. Garcia and I'm having a rough time fighting head hunger!! I had the best experience ever with his team, and I'm extremely happy I went with them, but like I said, head hunger is rough. I know I'm not physically hungry, in fact I never feel hungry, but I know when my stomach grumbles that I need to consume something. Head hunger is a killer!! It's hard for me to fix meals for my girls and husband and not want to pick at everything but it's all part of the process. I have been finding new hobbies to keep my mind from constantly thinking about food.< /p>

I was sleeved April 23rd with Dr. Garcia as well and I am not hungry at all, I do have cravings and can't wait to eat real food but that's about it. It is all in my head. I am very happy with my results so far I have lost 19lbs in about 10 days and yesterday for the first time I tried fat free refried Beans and felt full after only 4 teaspoons. Also, I have been drinking the Syntrax Nectar chocolate truffle Protein Shake, it is DELICIOUS and it keeps me full for like 3 hours

Have you talked with Dr. Garcia about this? Do you feel any restriction at all?

Reflux mimics hunger, once I went on meds, I'm never hungry!

I went to Dr Garcia on March 29 and still do not feel hunger. My stomach "turns" when its time to put something in there. Talk to Dr. Garcia, I am sure he would be ready to offer suggestions. Good luck to ya

I was sleeved by Dr. Garcia on 4/22. Never really hungry, but I definitely get cravings when I see or smell something yummy. I loved him to pieces and am grateful for the experience I had in TJ.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
