You look awesome, girl! I had mine done with Garcia as well. I was sleeved 4/6, my starting weight was 290 (I'm 6'2/female/27) starting weight b4 a wk of pre-op was 290 & this morning I was 186.6. Was in size 18/20 & now I'm a 10/12. My BMI was a 37.2 & today it's 23.9. Since I am so tall, my goal is to be 170. Im only 16.6 from my goal and I was sleeved almost 6 months ago! Seriously, this was by far the best decision I have ever made!!

I am 6'2 & i started out at 290 had surgery on 4/6 and i am 198 now. My goal weight is 175. I use to hate being tall when i was younger, but now i love it!

Self pay in Mx with Garcia for $5000. It was the best $5k I have ever spent! Down 75.4 lbs in 13 wks:)

Just a quick 2 wk update: (im 6'2/F/26yo) Started pre-op diet 3/26 @ 290, had surgery on 4/6 by Garcia.. It's been 2 wks today and I'm 259.6. I'm down a total of 30.4 since starting pre-op and 17.6 since surgery. I'm feeling pretty good, aside from low energy... It's getting better each day tho.

I was sleeved by garcia on 4/6 and stayed at the marriott after surgery. It is a very nice hotel. it was clean, staff was nice, hubby said food was good, beds were comfy, a few english channels.. One that played csi type shows all day, within walking distance of walmart and a shopping center, nice restaurant inside hotel.. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay.

What foods are considered sliders?

I had surgery on 4/6 & didn't have one.

I'll be waiting just to be sure. I like to drink it straight up.. Omg, my mouth is watering just thinking about it;)

Congrats on the 20lbs! I can't wait to try the spag. Cottage cheese next week. It takes me forever to eat about 1/2 cup.. And it hurts in my chest too. Im guessing im taking too big of bites or going too fast. Its taking me time to figure out my sleeve. Im not hungry either, but everything I see on tv looks and sounds so good. I hope this next wk goes by fast so I can get me some beans;)

At what stage can you do the spag. Sauce & cottage cheese? That sounds amazing;)

Hey girl, have you started creamy soups yet? I had 1/2 cup of tomato & 1/2 cup potato soup- extra creamy. I am so ready for more soild food. Next friday im trying refried extra mushy beans and I can not wait! I have lost 20.2 since pre-op & 7.4 since last friday. Im pretty happy so far:)

The gas pain was horrible for me too, I just tried to walk as much as I could even if I looked like a crippled old lady in the hall. The 1st 2 days I couldn't stand up very straight b/c of my drain and incision pain. I still walked almost every hr or so. I thought the gas pain would never leave, but its pretty much gone at a week out. I just took each day at a time and tried to keep the big picture in mind. You will get better, just give it a few more days. Good luck!

Oh, and I feel pretty good. 2 of my incisions are still sore, but thats it. Im a stay at home mom to a 3 yr old, so im able to lay around and rest a lot while im still getting my energy back. I get tired when I walk around walmart too long, but its just from the lack of cals im getting. I think once I can start eating more I will be fine.

I did salads and protein shakes for 5 days pre-op then the last 3 days before surgery was just was, juice and a Lil broth and water. Right After surgery once I was able to drink, I sipped water. Ive drank broth maybe 3x since surgery, had a Lil bit of juice, water, some sf popsicles and thats it. I haven't been hungry at all and nothing sounds good. I start my creamy soups today and im gonna start my protein shots. Ive started a few of my supplements, but a few are big pills that I haven't been able to get down yet. I was a big soda drinker before, but quit the day I started my pre-op diet, had a headache for a few days, but fine now.

I had my surgery last friday the 6th. I started my journey at 290, did 8 days of pre-op diet and got down to 277.2 on the day of surgery. Now I'm a week out and down to 269.8. Total of 20.2 since start of pre-op and 7.4 since surgery. Bmi has gone from 37.2 to 34.6. I'm not sure if I would be considered a slow or fast loser, but I'm pretty happy with my results so far. Btw, I am a 26 yr old female, 6'2 & goal weight of 170-175.
