I'm scheduled for Dec 29th band to sleeve. Anyone else doing a conversion

I am also scheduled for the 29th. For some reason the doctor did not require that I go on any type of liquid diet before the surgery I am doing a conversion band to sleeve what is the reasoning behind the liquid diet? I did not have to do it for my band either. What gives?

Sign me up too! Got the band 2013 scheduled for sleeve Dec 29 2015. I have been in the worst pain for the last year. I was also told, " it could stay in forever" thank god this isn't permanent! It has a mind of its own. I never know when the pain is coming. Totally messes all events and vacation up. I will be glad when it is out!

Looking for support in my area. Anyone?

welcome!!!!

oh man i sure hope it gets better. I spent a lot of money. I am sure things will get better. it has to. I mean we are restricted some what and even with that we should still lose right? Maybe it just takes a little while. I am trying to eat a higher protien diet and walk for 45 minutes a day. I was always told if we consume less then we burn then we should lose weight. We just have to stick with it.

I some what followed. The first 10 day definatly liquids. Now i am doing mushed stuff or atleast very solf. I am trying to get as many protiens as I can.
