Hi all! I am 5'8" and female. 38 years old VSG 4/26/16 HW: 273 (pant size 20/22 & size 2x shirts) SW: 249 CW: 183 (pant size 12/14 & Med/Large shirts) I weighed 190 lbs my sophomore year in high school, so being 183 is huge for me. My goal weight is 160.

Hi! I had the sleeve on 4/26 through Kaiser Fresno. I had a great experience. Went to orientation in early March, hit my goal weight in April, and had surgery a week later.

Hi! I was sleeved on 4/26 of this year. I followed a 1200 calorie, lower carb diet until 2 weeks before, then followed an 800 calorie/low carb diet until surgery. This is what my insurance recommended. It worked, and I was able to lose 24 lbs in 7 weeks.

At 7 days my favorite was a simple homemade egg drop soup. I found my recipe on Pinterest.

At 15 days post-op VSG my surgeon took me off blood pressure meds. I've been on them since I was 25 (12 years)!! Whoop whoop!

Thanks for the input!

Thank you all for your responses. Logging seems to get easier every day. I'm really hoping I can lose my pre-op weight in 6 weeks.
