That is awesome! I can't wait to see results like that

Congrats on the surgery!!! I had mind 2-14-13. I've lost 80 pounds so far.

I think it started gaining popularity in 2009-2010. My wife and I both got sleeved one week apart the only negative side effects we have had were self inflicted. I came up with a ice cream flavor and blue bell put it out right after I had my surgery. I ate two scoops and it ran straight thru me and her too. One is ok but two is too much sugar.(dumping syndrome) bread swells and will put you on your knees in a snap. Wendy's chili is good to eat so I found a recipe for it on the web. Body fortress Protein Powder is really good too. They are high in Protein 34g made with skim milk. They have chocolate, strawberry and Cookies and cream. I drive a truck and only missed two week of work.

I got my sleeve on 2-14-13. I was leaning towards the band till I found out it has the highest rate of failure. I went with the sleeve because I know a few friends that has gotten one. My post op diet was liquids and purée for the first two weeks. Then my Dr cut me loose on SOFT foods. I'm now 10 weeks out today and I'm down over 60 pounds. Stay away from bread if possible. I have been able to handle just about everything I've tried. You will get full really fast. Right after my surgery I could not drink more than 1 oz of Water at a time. That's been my hardest thing to deal with. Now I'm getting about 3 oz at a time. It seams to be really different than the band. I met a guy at my dr that went from the ban to the sleeve. He said he wished he'd done the sleeve first.(said it was too new at the time he got his band and didn't want to try it)

I got my sleeve on Valentin's day in Memphis by Dr V Weaver and I'm down 60 pounds. I have found the best Protein Shake is the Body Fortress brand made with skim milk is 34g of Protein and the Akins with 15g of protein.
