What a great job you have done, congrats congrats congrats. It is so nice to see people get to their goal weight and actually cross the finish line, it really gives me hope of doing the same one day.. You see some people start posting on here from time to time about how you will only lose 60 to 80 percent of the weight you are over and that just ticks me off. You prove my theory that all is possible after the sleeve. Keep smiling that beautiful victorious smile!!!!!!!!

Look at you, Girl!
How are you doing, Stacie? You've almost got to your goal weight. congrats. Hope all is well with you. Keep it going and enjoy the new you.

Hello,
Congrats on your decision on getting the sleeve. THe Key is protein. You have heard right, you don't eat alot on the sleeve. I could eat a large sub, fries and a salad before. Now I am barely get down a quater of a lean cuisine. You just get stuffed very quickly. I am simply not very hungry. It is like re-training yourself. I eat chicken with sauce and low fat cheese, cottage cheese, eggg beaters, suger free popsicles, and boca burgers with low fat cheese.

I am scheduled for a reversal of lapband to sleeve on 10/4 anyone give me some tips I am terrribly shaken as the Lapband was simply not for me. I heard with the sleeve you dont feel hungry and eat very little. Can somebody plz tell me what a day of eating having the sleeve is like

wow ......you look great....I go in for my sleeve in 6 days ! keep up the good work and thanks for all the tips !

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

I have some 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 My surgery was 03/14/11 and I still drink one of these almost every day!

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

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.
