    Congratulations! You DID take control and now are on a beautiful journey where the ultimate goal will positively impact your life. Good for YOU!
  2. accordingtome, thank you so much fo the links. I am definitely going to use them.
  3. Thanks guys. Really do appreciate all the help and support. Sleeve by Dr. Almanza 6/24. Dr. A and crew was great I speak no spanish had no prolems with communication. Surgery went well. Up the first night puking my guts out but that passed. Doing the clear liquid thing for 2 weeks. Won't be able to have protein until third week. I am very grateful for all your tips and suggestions. Feeling a little weird and tired. Long trip. Still trying to catch my breath.

    Very happy I had this done. I only took 2 days to decide on this procedure and 2 weeks to get it done. I am 5'7" tall. My post op weight was 247lbs. Started clear liquids on 6/20. Weight on 6/24 233lbs. Weight today 6/28 - is 228lbs - Total down is 19lbs since I started my journey. This is the first time that I can say that "THIS IS IT." I got so sick of the yoyo thing where I lost 10lbs and gained 20lbs back. I know this time around with exercise and nutritional changes. I will reach my ideal weight and stay at my ideal weight.

    AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL. It is so great to know that I have this family to share my journey with. I finally feel like I am in control of my weight instead of my weiht controlling me.

    Welcome to the board and congratulations on your decision to have the gastric sleeve.

    I have a few suggestions. For a clear protein, I suggest Protica Profect 50. It is a whopping 50 grams of protein in a 3.2 oz vial Protica - Detail

    For a really great tasting protein powder, I suggest Max Protein. You can purchase at GNC or online. SEI Pharmaceuticals

    To keep track of your calorie intake and measurements and weight. FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal This is really useful when you think you've stalled on your weight loss. You can look at what you actually measure!

    This blog - theworldaccordingtoeggface She posts some great recipe's and suggestions.

    I was on clear liquids for a week, full liquids for another week, puree'd foods for a week, soft foods for a week and then slowly moved on to regular foods while still including the previous foods into my daily food intake. Just don't get ahead of yourself. Take small sips and then small bites. Don't be in a big hurry to eat whatever you want.

    In the forum check out this section for suggestions: Gastric Sleeve Diet, Recipes, and Nutrition
    Keep a positive attitude and you will do great!
