LighterZone41 1 Posted July 21, 2014 Congratulations on your weightloss everyone! I live in Conroe, and had my surgery July 11, in Tijuana Mexico. Was a little scared, but a friend had gone a couple of years ago and had fabulous results, so I bit the bullet and did it. So glad I did! I was 255 the day I started my pre-op diet, I was 242 day of surgery, and today I am 229! I am so excited. I am on the full liquid diet until thursday, then I start the pureed diet. I am still hungry, I think. It may be all in my head though. I do fine when noone around me is eating, but as soon as I get around family and they are enjoying their meals I am like a mad person. I have cheated, one bite of a chicken leg, one bite of some cheese bread, and about 1/2 a teaspoon of peach cobbler - not all in one day. The chicken was the hardest on me, I felt it go down very slowly, felt nausous and swore I would never cheat again. Of course I did. Anyone else putting their lives on the line for just one bite? Why do we do this to ourselves? I beat myself up over it then drink my Soup or Protein shake. Anyone having issues with gas? I have never been a gassy person, but now it seems like I get gas just by drinking Water. Good luck to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWigster 70 Posted September 4, 2014 March 17th Sleever from League City. UTMB Dr. Gomez did my surgery and have been very satisfied with the care. Dr. Gomez has a lot of experience and I had zero complications! Down almost 100 pounds since I started the process. Couldn't be happier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cindy McReynolds 0 Posted May 9, 2015 I started program at UTMB out of Galveston. Very difficult time working with nurse practitioner, Jeanette Negrotto. Would not recommend clinic because they use para-proffesionals. Had surgery in December 2015 with Dr. Garth Davis. Very please with the surgery and after care. Highly recommend their program over UTMB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
