Hi, I am new to the forum, and found your post. First off... congratulations and I too am glad that it went well for you! I was so glad to see this because I am about to have a gastric sleeve surgery on this coming Wednesday April 18th. I love how you are posting your week to week progress.. what a great idea! I am currently on my 5th day of liquid diet now and have been looking for a good protein shake. Most I get hold of tastes yucky :S If you find any blogs like you were looking for on recipes etc, please let me know. I'm looking for the same

Again .. congratulations on your progress!!!!

I have 2 friends who had gastric and they both lots tons of wieght. My friend Jamie who had the surgery turned me onto these shakes. It is body by VI. She is a rep for the company now because she loves them so much. I like them alot, you can add whatever you want like blueberries, bananas, whatever you please. They taste really good. If you want her info I can give it to you, just PM me.

Carolyn, how are you doing a year later? I am sure you have updated and I simply missed it.

I am 2 weeks post op from having gastric bypass and was wondering how you are doing, I am pretty much going through hell, it is the hardest thing I have ever done.

Lisa - I'm sure it's difficult and I wish you the best through your recovery. Are you in pain or is it something else that is making it hell?

I have heard this from everyone I know that has had the surgery, but everyone says they would do it again!

Just as a boost, here is picture of my sister April 2010 (Her surgery was Oct 2010)



and my sister last month, February 2013 (28 months post surgery)

No pain, just hungry, I want to eat regular food.
