EXCITING!!! Congrats on the weight loss so far! You've done great. 1. I rarely drink protein shakes and haven't since I was 6 weeks out. I drank them for a month pre op, too. I loved the EAS carb advantage in rich dark chocolate and I like (not love) the Premier Protein from costco. I use a little SF banana/almond/coffee/cherry coffee syrup in my chocolate drinks. In my occasional vanilla, I will add SF cherry or coconut. 2. I have saggy skin. No way around it. I look at it with the thoughts that I may look kind of weird naked but I look great in my size 6/8 clothes. Before, I looked gross naked and clothed. WIN. 3. If you do the work, it will work. Period. Erase the self doubt. This is like nothing you've ever done for yourself. YOU CAN DO THIS. Thanks!

Hi everyone, Been trolling this site for about a month, but was a little shy about posting. I began the process July 21st at Kaiser South San Francisco. Was just assigned my surgery date of 9/4/14. I've lost about 30 pounds on my own and am looking forward to using the sleeve as a tool to help me keep weight off for the first time in my life. Never had surgery before and pretty nervous about it. I would greatly appreciate anyone's experience with my below concerns. 1. Protein Drinks- I am picky with nutritional shakes. I finally got used to Body By Vi, but that won't' work for the surgery requirements. 2. Avoiding really saggy/flappy skin- I know there will be some, but any advice would help. 3. Scared this too will not work
