From the point of 10 days before my surgery and even now 10 days after, my dietician gave a 4 cup/day guideline of milk allowance. I use an excellent, pre-mix Protein drink called EAS - Carb control. I get it at Sams Club by the case for around $30. 17 grams of Carbs and less than 1 sugar. Good luck to you next week!!

I'm a 3/27 sleeved too! Congrats to all of you, well on your way!! I have found that if I get all 64oz of water and 50 oz of protein I am not hungary very often. I find myself more desiring food than hungry for it. Easter should be interesting! Good luk to us all!

Hi! We are neighbors of the surgery world. I had mine one day after you. Sounds like you are off to a good start. I've found tons of great info here but I think the most important was the thread about Ketosis. That is something I wasn't quite prepared for-yuck. Although worth it at the same time. Aviva - you asked about weight loss.....at 10 days post surgery I am down almost 20 pounds! I've been walking about a mile per day and today I'm going for my second bike ride. Moving and exercising slowly (very non-intensive and not weight bearing) has gone a long way toward lifting my spirits! Hang in there! Nancy

Thank you all for your support! :-)

Congratulations, what an inspirational story! No doubt with your determination, you'll reach your goal before you know it!
