  2. Hello my name is Kevin. I am one week post off from the gastric sleeve. When I started the program at Swedish hospital in Seattle Washington, I was 350 pounds. On January 26th I had my surgery and I was 290 pounds pre surgery. My insurance required me to not lose any weight, I just follow their regiment on how to eat. Right now I'm on a two week all liquid diet, on February 11th, I'll start the next phase of how to eat. So far, this is been the best experience of my life... In just the first three days I was taken off buy insulin for diabetes. I've always been the type of person to try diets and not everything but have always fallen off the wagon so to speak. And in doing that got diabetes, also it started destroying my kidney... Which I only have one. Going through this 8 month process or however long it was my diabetes is totally improved and my kidney function has improved massively. If I hadn't gone to Swedish for this process I don't think I would a live more than two more years cuz of my kidney. All I can say in closing is this is best the best thing I've ever done. I found this forum all scanning on Google, nm just looking for ideas for protein drink recipes and stuff like that. Also I am interested in places to get protein bars and I protein foods. Any help would be appreciated. Don't get me wrong I have done my research and found some places.
