    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!

    Hi binky,

    I had my surgery on 5/2/11 in Arlington, TX. Sounds like you had yours a couple of weeks later. What part of Texas are you from?

    I am starting to add in regular foods now, and I love it! It is just amazing to me to be able to eat real food and to stop without eating everything in sight like I did before my sleeve! I remember I was pretty tired of liquids, too, but I made the mistake of not drinking enough fluids when I started on soft foods, and I let myself get dehydrated. Don't you make that same mistake---drink, drink, drink!

5 months

by binky on 10-17-2011 at 02:16 PM
So here I five months out still feeling great... Just one question is anyone who is five months out or remebers being five months out still depending on protein shakes? I know there is no way I can eat all protein required if it wasn't for my protein shakes. One of my shakes alone is 45 grams and that is if I don't use milk! There is a girl who had sleeve 6 months before me and she quit drinking them at couple months after.. I try not to compare I just know for a fact if it wasn't for my protein

Well I have made it! Four months still doing great 60 pounds down! I feel great! I do notice my hair thinning that worries me like no other!! Ira still hard for me to eat something's like chicken it can feel stuck but it could just be me not chewing enough... I know I need to just increase my protein the only problem I have with the protein is I seem to only like one from the smoothies king and the closest one to me is 4 and a half hours away! So when I am out it can be tough. I feel better
