I am from right outside Dallas. I live in Canton, Texas. I just had the sleeve surgery on 4/7/10 almost 2 weeks ago. The liquid diet was really hard on me. Can't say I didn't cheat a little bit. You will get through it though. I am on the liquid diet still and it hasn't got any easier. The first week was not so bad because I was still nauseated from surgery and just the thought of food or even liquid didn't settle with me. Week two has been kinda hard. I am starting to like the smell of food again and my head is really wanting something. I keep fighting through it though because I am so worried about messing the surgery up. I can't tell you how much sugar free popsicles have saved my life.

I had lap band about 4 years ago and lost about 55 1bs. and then was just stuck. In December my band slipped and I had to have all my fluid taken out and was told that I needed it removed and revised to something else. I felt like a failure with the lap band at this point and that I did it to myself. I really didn't know what to do because I knew if I had it taken out and nothing else done that I would gain weight back really quick. I made the decision to go ahead and revise to the sleeve. I was really hesitant to tell anyone I was afraid that they would just tell me to have lap band removed and go on a diet. I finally just decided to tell all my friends the decision I made and all was so supportive. I just had the surgery two weeks ago and so I am going through that head hunger but hopefully I made the right choice.
