We are all entitled to our opinions. But I have never doubted the change this sleeve has made in my life. I used to not eat normal. Now with my sleeve I eat normal. I eat to survive not to enjoy. My sleeve has turned me into a health conscious eater. I do not drink any juices, watch the carbs in those, also be careful with orange juice, quite acidic.
My typical day of food goes. (at 5 months out)
8 oz - skim milk (100 cal, 10 protein) 1 scoop chocolate injury (100 cal, 20 protein)
1/2 cup fat free plain greek yogourt (60 cal, 10 protein) with a few blueberries and smushed blacked berries for flavour (40 cal)
3-4 oz of Water with 1 scoop injury strawberry (100 cal, 20 protein)
raw vegetables with 2 tbs hummus (appx 100 cal, 4-6 protein)
3-4 oz of water with 1 scoop injury strawberry (100 cal, 20 protein)
that is 700 calories and around 85 grams of Protein.
Although I do not typically eat much meat, as it does aggravate my stomach but still have no problem staying within calories and getting my protein. If you use your sleeve right there is nothing wrong with it in my opinion.

Hey everyone, lurking for a while but now I am a member.
I am just starting my 6 month waiting period for my insurance. I have done consults with nutritionist, psych, and all the testing. Saw the surgeon last week and she gave me the green light for the sleeve. She wants me to lose 20 to 30 pounds before surgery in the fall.
I am a bit nervous but ready! I travel a lot for work and am having more trouble due to my weight. I am writing this from a plane right now. Looking forward to smaller size that can fit better in these tiny seats.
This site has been so helpful already. Happy I found it!
