Been Gone Awhile.... Im Back ... Dr. Garcia Update



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Its been a long long long while since I have logged in. Things have been hectic but going great.

Just for review, Im Kisha from MD. Had my surgery on May 22, 2012 with Dr. Fernando Garcia. My experience was wonderful from the moment I stepped foot in Mexico.

Starting weight was 216. Goal weight is 145.... current weight 151!!!!! Only 4 months out and I am almost at my goal. Life has changed so much and is going great as a non-obese person. I am now wearing a medium top, medium dress (depending on the store) or size 10, and in pants, also depending ont he store, size 11 or 12. My feet have even shrunk. 7.5 now.

I just want to say anyone considering mexico and Dr. Garcia.... you can't go wrong. They have the best care and Dr. Garcia is the best. If I had to do it all over again... I would... without a second thought. I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have!!!1

some pictures!!!! I dont really have many before picture because I hated taking pictures... but I have tons of after...because the camera loves me now.... or should I say, I love myself now.... sorry for the side ways pictures...I am just too lazy to rotate!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
