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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
