I tried to post it again and still no luck but if you go on GNC's website and type lean muscle in the search window it will bring it up. It comes in a red and black box. If you click on the product it will bring it up scroll down and there will be some tabs underneath it to give you product information.

The taste was really good, not chalkie like other people say about there Protein. I've mixed it with Water and milk but either way it tasted good to me. I live in Killeen Texas. Yeah Im ready for the sleeve too!!! I've had the band, well still have it now but Im so ready to get this thing out of my body its so not worth the long term trouble and trouble I've had with it. Wish I would have searched all bariatric surgery before getting it because I would have opted for the sleeve in 2009 instead of this band bull...

Yes that's right I did read Killeen. Ok, I will definitely get some. I'm sorry you had trouble with the band perhaps it will be smooth sailing with the sleeve. Have created a myfitnesspal account, if so to can add me? I only created mine yesterday. I think it will be another great tool in deleting FAT! LOL...

Our website is www.circlesewing.com. My favorite type of quilting is scrappy! I just love mixing all the colors. I give the majority of my quilts to the homeless and to women's shelters. I love the look of appliqué quilts, and some of my customers are experts at it....but I don't go there too often. I thought I'd have time to sew at work, not so much! LOL. My customers keep me hopping, and uncle sam's paperwork takes up the rest of my time (heavy sigh). I do sneak in a little sewing though...he he he

I havent tried scrappy quilting although think of it. If I just had more time.....I will have to go check out your store ! I think its awesome that you give your quilts to the needy. I always give mine away but to those that I feel called to.... a different kind of needy : ) My days are going by faster now....only two more days of eating stuff and then I start my pre-op diet . Upper GI on Friday morning.

Pre op appointment is on Monday .... OMG this is actually going to happen!!!

I kinda thought something would keep it from happening but we are a go.

Start pre-op diet on 11/1. Doctor is sending me a bunch of recipes to keep it interesting.

This is going to be interesting to say the least. Liquid Protein only for 2 weeks, but I can have

Jello and sugar free ice pops. Goal 10 pounds by 11/13... Doable?

I dont know if calories are a concern when dealing with Protein and how much protein to get in. I was thinking about 80 grams of protein like with the band, I dont know if thats right? However the protein I use has 250 calories but 40 grams of protein and I dont know if thats going to be bad either being as though we are going to be on pretty much of a liquid diet the first two weeks anyway. How many calories did they say we should consume post-op?? I am a self pay so I wont get any of that information until after the surgery. I kind of wish I went through my insurance to do it but I wouldnt be able to make all the obligations required so thats why im doing a self pay in MX. Any help you guys got would be appreciated thanks!

Hey how many carbs?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
