Just got Sleeved Dec 3 lost 12 pounds already! I very happy so far no serious complications! The pain has been kinda intense, but im a big baby lol! I Wish You The BEST OF LUCK!!!!

Thank you! Glad to know that you came through it well. Man, you JUST got done. How are you doing with the liquids?

It took my a few tries to find a protien shakes I like. First I tried Premier Protein it tasted to milky for me. I'm not a lover of milk at all. Next I got Pure Protein it just tasted like chalk. Both of those shakes were liquid. So next I tried Whey powder protien. Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate is the best tasting one I found. It has to be very cold and shaken very well. My favorite flavors are the chocolate truffle, fuzzy navel(peach), vanilla bean and

Lemonade

I would go to vitamin shop's and get some of the single packages to see what you like before your surgery.

Lastly its going to be very hard to get all 60 grams of protein down a day. Try to find a brand with the most protein so you don't have to force yourself to drink them. the Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate have 23 Grams of protein so i only need 3 a day

I am having my sleeve done on 2/18/15. I am so excited! And nervous! I am currently at my highest weight of 230 at 5'3.5''. I am doing self pay in Mexico. Some friends of mine had it done there with rave reviews of the facility and medical providers. Just booked my flight into San Diego yesterday! YAY!

I am a 29 year old female, married, mom of 2 minions (boy-4, girl-2) and I am a foster mom. I work full time as a newborn nursery/pediatric RN.

Nice to meet you, Mamagoettig!

I have had a good week so far, I went to a bariatric group's Ulgy Sweater Party, which was a great trip and I had a super time! Man, it was so fun. I gave away all of my 3, 4 and 5X clothes and came back with three garbage bags full of 1 and 2X clothes and some 16/18 clothes.

It is so fun fitting into smaller sizes!!

Hi I will be sleeved on Feb 2, 2015.. I am nervous as the days draw close.. I have read so much but remembered nothing. . I would love a buddy as I journey through VSG. Hope to hear from guys. Thanks.

Hey Tiger, I'm going in on Feb 4 th. Absolutely we should buddy up!

Mama...can I call you Mama, LOL! I have friends who have been sleeved in Mexico and have had awesome results. Now that I have been waiting on this since August, I am wishing I had just made a trip to Mexico. I think I would have gone to Dr. Alvarez...because he is hot.

Have you seen his videos?

That's an awesome video!!! Haha! I have a few friends that got sleeved in Mexico as well. All great outcomes! I can't wait!! I love going on Instagram now and searching for people that have had a gastric sleeve done! The results are so awesome!

What type of pre-op diet are you guys supposed to follow? Mine is 10-14 days of high protein low carb and then just nothing to eat the day of surgery.

I have never been in instagram. You're the second person who's said that. What's the deal with it? I mean, what impresses you about instagram?

Well I really just joined Instagram to look at before and afters from sleevers. They show their progress and you can kind of see how and what they are doing on a regular basis. I honestly haven't dove too deep into Instagram. I am mostly just following people at this point but I hope to post my progress as well.
