Protein is a MUST to maintain good muscle health! Because we are over weight and fat, we have extra stored , but you body doesn't store protein like fat. The MOST IMPORTANT MUSCLE IS HEART ! I'm a cardiac patient, so I KNOW these things! DON'T damage your heart muscle, Best thing is to get your protein from food, not shots or shakes! If it has a MOTHER, it's protein , eat it first, with limited stomach size( intake ) get your protein in first! Sent from my iPhone using VST

When is your surgery? You need to fight the urge! The more you shrink your fatty liver the easier and better your sleeve will go! I promise you, the preop and first few weeks are the hardest time! I had mine on aug 1st and so far down 83lbs! Sent from my iPhone using VST

My nut said , it is painful from the gas expansion while healing ! Once healed in moderation it is ok, it is very difficult to stretch sleeve . They remove the stretchy material of stomach and make your sleeve out of the harder part of stomach Sent from my iPhone using VST

Protein is a must! To maintain good healthy muscle! And the most important muscle is your heart muscle ! Have a heart attack and you will change your mind ! I did at 38 yrs! Sent from my iPhone using VST
