there is unflavored protein available but the pro nutrition store I went to said it is typically not carried on sale floors, you have to order it. The vitamin shoppe is where I last got it and also thru amazon. I do that in water with the MIO type flavor drops. It is not as icky sweet as many of the shakes and you can control the taste by the amount you put in. Best wishes for your journey!

Well got sleeved on Friday and felt like taking on the world until the next morning. Saturday was the rough day for me, every day has been a little easier since. I'm learning the language of my sleeve and she is definitely the boss! When she says stop, she means it! Lol. I quit the hydro codone on Sunday and switched to liquid Tylenol. Today didn't even need that. Today was my hubby's birthday and I made him a pan of lasagna. I told him if that didn't show how much I love him then I don't know what more I can do to prove it! I met both my protein and liquid goals today and am a new exercise appt to my calendar starting tomorrow. Today was the first time I've recognized some of my food triggers as I drove around town. Not even being Hungry the Sonic sign tried to coax me in anyway. Oh we are over by walmart then let's do lunch at chilis...nothing more than bad habits. They say new habits take 21 days to settle in so I'm hoping this three weeks on liquids is enough to kill off the old and establish the new! God bless, hope everyone is doing well!

Great job; sounds like you are happy with your choices. Very happy for you.

I chose the sleeve because the band doesn't make the hormonal changes needed to fix my comorbidities and I've seen first hand the nutritional issues with the rny. The sleeve leaves the plumbing in place so every part of the system still does it's thing but it is restrictive enough to cause both the hormonal changes and the weight loss.

I

I use lose it as well.

I'm march 7th in Dallas. Feeling a bit schizophrenic at this point. Ready to get this done one minute and wondering whether it's the right choice the next. Wish you all the best.

I'm set up for March 6th. Having all the pre-op schizophrenic emotions. Best wishes all

I'm in Lawton having surgery in Dallas and also looking forward to having this stage in the rearview!. Good luck to you all!

I just had my EJD there yesterday and believe that is also where I'll be sleeved as well. Great staff and good experience yesterday.

So happy for you! WOW! Great job!

I'm in Lawton Ok. Hoping for late February date but still have to do stress test, scope and then pre op stuff. I'm using Dr Dirk Rodriguez in Dallas. He did an RNY for my sister and a band for my niece. Awesome doctor and staff, I hate the drive but living in Lawton America we get to drive a lot! Just gotta chose north or south. Congratulations to all of you for doing this for yourselves. Wish you all the best
