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?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
