I live in Cypress as well and will be having my surgery on Sept 15, in one week.

I am sorry to hear you are in pain. I will include you in my prayers. Actually I am including all of us---this is such an exciting/fearful event in all of our lives.

Congratulations on your surgery! Keep a positive attitude and treat this surgery as a tool to help you learn to eat better and you will be a success!

Good luck on your surgery!!! I'm so excited for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery....

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks!

Good Luck tomorrow!

Good luck on your surgery. I am scheduled for the 28th. If there are any tips you can give me later, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

I am wondering what the best tasting protein shakes are in your opinions? My surgery is June 22nd.

Hello dear I noticed that we both live near eachother. Its nice to know people in your area who are going trough the same thing.

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!

Last but not least this blog - theworldaccordingtoeggface She had a different surgery, but posts some great recipe's and suggestions.
