    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!

losing too fast, I think, anyone else?

by McGilly2009 on 02-20-2012 at 12:55 PM
I had my surgery almost 12 weeks ago, and I lost 66lbs so far, I am wondering if this is too fast? I am exercising, but it seems like i have more skin than muscle, and I am faithful with the exercise. I know I am not getting in all my protein, but most of it, and I do not feel hungry at all. Just wondering if this is normal. I know it will slow down, and I'm not complaining, I am just wondering if maybe I am not doing something right. Thanks

Straying from liquid diet.....

by McGilly2009 on 10-31-2011 at 10:58 AM
I have had plans for over 2 months to go away for my 2nd wedding anniversary, and I recently got my surgery date which means I will be on my liquid diet during that time. I will start the diet November 9th and my surgery date is the 23rd (day before thanksgiving). I am going away on the 13th and 14th. Would it be safe to have my liquid diet during the day and eat a meal those two nights? Only 2 nights out of the whole 2 weeks. We are going to Atlantic city and we have free meal vouchers. I'm kind
