I had to wait 6 months after my band was removed to get my sleeve. Make sure to ask your Doctor if sleeve or bypass is better after you ave had a band. I had a very hard time post op...almost needed a revision to a bypass because the Upper GI fluid did not clear the system fast enough. Good Luck!!!

I am now 9 days post op VSG, I was cleared by my physician to move to a full liquid diet yesterday, all I have been able to eat in 24 hours is 1 packet of Cream of wheat, 2 atkins protein shakes and about 1 oz of yougurt. I also started walking and walked 1 1/2 miles today without needing to rest. I have lost 17 lbs which really makes me happy but i feel I need more protein and do not know how to get it. I am so full. Any suggestions?
