I was sleeved on July 30. Since surgery I've lost 48 pounds. Very happy with my choice to go to Mexico and Dr. Garcia. I took an antibacterial body wash with me for showers. I used the hospital gowns and some loose pants while in the hospital. I packed very light since I was traveling alone.

Hey, did Dr. Garcia give a diet plan? I've read that most people have a caloric intake plan.

I think an eating plan is sent with the emails when you first get started.

I was given the eating plan before I went for surgery and then again before I was discharged from the hospital. I put all the info in a small ring binder so I could refer back to it easily.

They also gave me a copy of a dietary record to record how much and what I was eating. I made several copies and still use it today. (well most the time) Need to get back in the habit but I've been using My Fitness Pal to keep track of my intake, Water and activity. Best wishes to you and God Bless.

      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.
