    Downsize Diva got a reaction from Texasgrl in Pre-Op liquid diet   
    Good day my soon to be fellow sleevers.
    I'm scheduled for surgery July 19th. They're removing my failed lapband (Port Flipped and Band Slipped) and converting me to the gastric sleeve. I'm also getting my hiatal hernia repaired.
    I was concerned about the liquid diet too. Besides being expensive ($150 per week) I found I hate the taste of the Optifast shakes. Has anyone been advised whether or not the costco Premeir shakes are a comparable replacement???? Or any other brand that tastes better. I've had the Premier shakes before and they taste good especially the chocolate.
    Any advise would be deeply appreciated.
    PS I have one other silly question. ......What happens to the staples??? I asked my doctor a million and one questions but forgit to ask about the staples. Do they dissolve, does the body absorb them or do they just stay there indifinitely???
