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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
