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.

      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.
