I was sleeved 8/28 and I am thinking I want some variety while making sure I meet Protein goals once I start eating.... So I'm leaning toward purchasing the Isopure no carb unflavored Protein Powder, has anyone tried it? I like the flavored ready to drink Isopure but I'm iffy about unflavored powder. Any suggestions?

All of you look fabulous! I just want to mention to anyone who may be stopping by that is post-op or VERY recently sleeved, please do yourself a favor- TAKE FULL LENGTH PHOTOS! I hadn't found this forum until after I'd already started my journey and NO ONE prior to being sleeved mentioned photos. I have no full-length photos of me at my highest weight and though I'm a freelance photographer, I photograph landscapes and architecture, not people, certainly not myself. So, please keep those cameras handy to document your awesome progress! :)

Sounds really great! I have been relying on tylenol for the most part, but once a day my muscle wall really starts to ache and than I go to the stronger stuff. I was pretty miserable earlier, but had a lactose free Soup for dinner and I feel absolutely amazing. I am hoping this is a turning point. My Water is good, I hit my goal yesterday, I am short today. I bought lactaid and soy milk. I am going to give that a whirl tomorrow! Hope all continues well!

Slightly more energy today. Tomorrow is my two weeks, and I get to advance onto puréed or soft foods as tolerated! Fluids are getting a bit easier. I was able to drink an entire 17oz water bottle this morning in about a half hour!

I know that I have missed a few sleevers.. But I hope that you all had smooth surgeries and are having speedy recoveries!!

Surgery 8/28 was a success! Came home last night and I still have quite a bit of gas still but I'm doing fine! Doctor said it was ok to take Gas X so I'm hoping that it will help get rid of the rest of the gas along with my walking.

I had my surgery yesterday. All went well. It only took about an hour, which surprised me. I spent the night in ICU and I'm now finally in my own room. Already drinking Water and did my first leak test. The pain isn't horrible so far. I hope all the other 8/29 sleeves are doing well too.

Just got a call from my nurse. I gotta be at 10am. I'm nervous now. AHH

Currently on the pre op New Direction liquid diet (bleeh) surgery date set for 7am 8/28!! I'm so excited I feel like the days are dragging....

Congrats jules! I also got my sleeve yesterday and I am feeling great. No real complaints and very minimal pain. Hopefully I'll get sent home tomorrow.

Today's the day!!
