I had my VSG 8 days ago. I'm forcing in my Water intake but I haven't had any Protein Shakes yet? I haven't had more than 200 calories per day. I'm sure that'll increase w/ time. My concern is I haven't been able to drink any Protein shakes so my protein intake is ZERO! Is this going to stunt my weight loss?

I have a BMI of 31 & had my surgery march 6th in Tijuana. (8 days post op) my goal weight loss is 62lbs. I'm 5'8.5" & was 212. I've already lost 7lbs including my 3 days preop. They had me not do the per op diet other than the Clear Liquids for 3 days w/ the low BMI. I have a feeling my weight loss will be slower than someone w/ a high BMI but I'm still expecting it to come off. I did have the fear of too much weight loss but I really feel once I get to a certain weight it'll level out.

Tijuana is not a vacation spot. That's where I had mine. I would only go there for surgery. I've been on vacation to both cancun & porta vollarta & they are both great places to enjoy. I'd schedule a few extra days prior to surgery to vacation there. Although, I had mine on Wednesday night & Saturday I was out touring San Diego; though I didn't have my normal stamina.

Hey, post if you find a support group on the Northshore. I had my sleeve March 6th & would live a group to talk w/.
