Hello. I got the sleeve done in July of last year. I've had a hard time overeating because I don't realize I'm overeating until it's too late. It's like I'm hungry (I struggle badly with head hunger as well) or stuffed with no in between. I can get around 3 bites over the course of an hour before that 'oh ****, I overdid it' feeling hits me. I try to drink water but I run into the same problem as I sip too much water and then I feel sick as well. I've dealt with horrible stomach pain/heartburn and while I know it's my own doing, I keep messing up. I've also been stalling real bad as I have been maintaining my stats (SW: 230, CW: 168) for over a month. Does anyone have any useful mindful eating tips?

I am a member of his practices Facebook group but I honestly think his staff delete non asskissing reviews/comments. From what I've researched, Dr. Elias Ortiz himself is a good surgeon with nice medical staff but the people he chooses to hire as coordinators have no medical experience and are extremely rude. I am making this post to ask others for personal experience with his clinic. I have booked him for July 20th and I'm trying not to panic.

How are all of the July folks going, preop and postop? I'm starting liquid pre-op a day early because I'm paranoid about my liver not being small enough. July 20th date for me. I cheated on preop once by having a bite of pasta and I woke up with stomach pain so not my best moment.

Thanks. I caved in and had some jelly beans. Threw the rest away and I'm committed to getting through this with as few slip ups as possible.

I'm July 20th. Second day of pre-op and it's hard because it's so limited food choice wise. I'd kill for some cheese right now. The Facebook "support group" I'm in is so judgmental it's pointless to even go there. 😖
