DECEMBER SLEEVERS WITH DR. FERNANDO GARCIA



Recommended Posts

Okay I will be arriving in San Diego on the 8th around 225pm and leaving at 12 on the 13th. So we will be right behind each other :) I have been doing 2 Protein Shakes a day for some time now but I will start on the pre-op diet probably on the 3rd of December. I can't wait to hang out with you! Super Excited!!! Yes, it's better to start now with drinking your Protein shakes because it took me a while to get used to do 2 a day and now I love them. What shakes are you using? Also from my understanding please pack your towels and wash cloths because I keep reading that the hospital runs out of them. So just be prepared :)

I will be arriving in San Diego at 2:55pm, and then leaving at 6:15pm on the 13th. We should definitely get together while we are there. I am super excited!! I already started packing my carry on, lol. Have you started dieting yet? I have kinda started this week just to ease my way into it even though the plan I was given had me starting later.

I am in the medical field so I plan to stock up on meds in Tijuana. I have not told my primary care dr about my vsg yet, so I want to get some things for post op care just in case. I want to get injectable B12 ( for energy), protonix ( many us doctors recommend using this for 6 months post op for gerd prevention), and ursodiol ( to help protect the gallbladder as rapid weight loss can kill your gallbladder). I plan to go to one of the pharmacies on Revolution st at some point and if you are interested you should come with me.

It was the best decision I ever made! I loved it there! Everybody was so nice and respectable! I really want to go back! I have posted pictures and my experience on my weight loss journey as well!

How did it go.

      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! 😞
