Thanks for all the great suggestions! I've been reading the Eggface site, and was inspired to pick up a bento box lunchbox with those little containers/ compartments. I figure having several small things on-hand plus my Isopure Zero Carb should set me up to get in all my fluid/protein/food intake in small increments throughout the day.

Hey, Butterfly! I'm a 10th-grade teacher here -- and I'm wondering some of the same things. I was sleeved on July 7, and I head back to school full-time on August 14. What has been working for you? I'm trying to plan and lay in supplies early... :-) Thanks in advance!

Hello, all! texasmelody here, about 16 days after getting my sleeve here in Dallas. Dr. Castro was my surgeon, and I had the sleeve at Baylor. I began my pre-op diet exactly a month ago, and in the month before and after the sleeve I'm down 43.1 pounds -- so, only about another 260 pounds to go. Sheesh! Everything seems to be going well so far. I've had the usual intestinal distress, but that seems to be calming down. I've had a couple of occasions where stuff seems to sit in my chest. Distressing, but do-able. I've had some early-run dizziness that turned out to be the fact that my blood-pressure dosage was suddenly too high -- so that's now been cut in half. Woot! So...now, just experimenting with Protein powders and flavors. I love the Isopure Zero Carb bottles, but hate the cost. The Bariatric Advantage stuff turned out to make me VERY sick. Not sure why. So....I would love it if you guys would weigh in with your protein recommendations -- or, ideally, the best place to pick up the Isopure Zero Carb Grape Frost stuff. Look forward to interacting with you all! Big group hug, texasmelody

Thanks so much! Love the list and the Protein sample resources!
