I haven't heard of one, but I wouldn't mind being a part of one. I don't know enough about facebook to start one, but I would be willing to join one if someone starts it! VERY good idea.

Continued prayers for those that had surgery today. Prayers and positive thoughts for those having surgery tomorrow!

Prayers and positive thoughts for all June 4th sleeve surgeries!!! I can't wait to hear how you all are doing!

There seem to be quite a few of us that are revising so we get to learn together! I think it will definitely help that you and your wife are doing this together. Good luck!

Congrats on your revision! Keep us posted on how you are doing!

You can get small bottles of the Torani at Walmart. It is usually with the coffee. I actually buy my large bottles from Amazon.com. You can get them on auto-delivery if you like them. You can get the DaVinci at Sam's Club. The only flavor that I tried and didn't like (in Torani) was the caramel. It just didn't taste right to me.

Thining of you, MinaT! You are going to do awesomely! Thanks so much for all of your hard work on our June lists!

Yay! So happy for you! Keeping you and the others that had surgery today in my thought and prayers!

prayers and good thoughts to the June 1st sleevers!

Thoughts, prayers, and excitement for all of the June 1st sleeve surguries! Will be thinking and praying for you all today! Good luck!

It's really getting ready to happen!!! This is such an exciting (and terrifying) time in all of our lives! I can't wait!!!

That is a device used during the surgery to determine the sleeve size.

Thank you SO much for doing this! This is awesome! Look at how many of us there are!

crossing my fingers for you!

I know every person is different, but from experience after the first few days of the liquid diet, your stomach adjusts and you are not as hungry. That was my experience the first time.

I may have to try that. I've been doing quite a bit of sugar free gum chewing lately. Not good for me, but seems to help with that yucky Protein diet mouth... I completely get where you are coming from on not cooking your favorites. DH doesn't quite understand that if I cook things I like, I'm going to want sample. Not good. I guess we shall see how it goes in my house in a few weeks when I REALLY have to be on my diet.

My shakes will be glucerna. I don't really like them, so plan to put some sugar free torani on them to help... The last time, it was around day 4 that I stopped feeling as bad. I hope it passes soon for you.

My revision is scheduled for june 28th. The removal and sleeve are being done at the same time. When is your surgery scheduled?

First, welcome! I think your fear is probably common among those of us that were banded first. We have tried before. I think what we have to keep in mind is tha WE didn't fail. The band failed US. I pray we are all successful in this new venture. I know I can't wait to get this band out and have my sleeve done!

My preop diet is almost identical to yours. I do get to add two servings of low fat yogurt and two servings of 100% juice. From previous experience, by the 4th day I was no longer hungry and couldn't do all of the shakes. It improves over time and gets us ready for the liquid diet after surgery.

June 28th here. It is taking soooooo long!
