My name is Cara! I had the VSG on August 28, 2015. HW 273. SW 260. CW 216. The pic of me in the red shorts and sports bra was a couple weeks post op. I'm ecstatic about losing almost 60 lbs so far but I am having difficulty managing my dehydration and protein intake. I am in the process of trying new foods. Balance is crucial with my new lifestyle of eating! This has been the toughest physical and mental challenge of my life.. besides nursing school.. But one day at a time, I'm owning this life!!!
