I have a surgery date and will be starting a blog of my experience. Fist I had to lose 29 lbs for my insurance company to approve my gastric sleeve surgery-- I did it with high protein and low carb---NO sugar---No breads or pasta---and it really wasn't that hard---I did have a small slip Thanksgiving, but not too bad--didn't really get off track.
