Best piece of advice you can offer for a post-op sleeve patient
Everybody is different so do what works for you. You'll have to do a lot of experimenting to make the right fit for your schedule and what you can handle. But definitely just keep sipping that water and taking protein a little at a time and use My Fitness Pal that's an awesome way to track what you're getting in nutrition-wise.

How are you getting your protein in?
Where do you get your protein water. I've just been using the nectar as my protein water but I'd rather just have regular protein water. HW 258 SW 242 3/22/17 CW 185 GW 140 5'3''
