Hi Kerd I'm also a band to sleeve revision...December 11th! I can't wait to get this band out! Good look tomorrow, keep us posted.

Sookie, can you let the group know the name of the Protein shot? It would be nice to do a test run on them before spending money on something that won't agree with stomach. Thanks

I'm also on two week liquid diet, surgery date 12/11. Same as most with the 3x day protein shakes and I add a scoop of Beneprotein to my shakes and getting in about 100gms of protein a day. I also found Trader Joe's low sodium broths to be not that bad and relatively inexpensive in comparison.

MissKoKo That's awesome!!!

Agree! Kudos to both MnWin and AtlantaRed for doing an exceptional job updating the group!

Thank you! I was thinking after the "guilt" kicked in...that the salmon wouldn't fully digest by Tuesday and would still be in my stomach! hee hee I'm so nervous and over thinking everything!

Hi ladies. . I'm a Dec11th as well... nerves are crazy right now My Dec 11th buddies...I'm so nervous it's less 5 days away!!! I'm on two weeks liquid diet and struggling today...ate a small of salmon couldn't resist I cooked it for my family...the plus is it's all Protein.I've been switching between Bariatric Advantage Vanilla, it's OK better if you add extra Water so it won't be so thick and Atkins Vanilla w/ two scoops of Beneprotein 3x, with a Greek Light vanilla yummy! I pulling in approx. 100 gm protein a day with less than 20 gm net carbs.Good look to all my buddies! Let's rock n roll

Has anyone started the pre-op liquid diet to "jump start" or will everyone wait for Dr's order?I'm scheduled December 11th ...band to sleeve revision.I was banned in 2004 losing 82lbs and over the past few years gained all but the last 20lbs back. I have been miserable with food/liquids getting stuck, some days are worst then others where I VOMIT and have a series of gagging attacks almost daily! I was reluctant about the sleeve but when I went in for the initial consultation I just wanted this band "out". I'm scheduled to be sleeved on December 11th and hoping removal and sleeve will happen in one surgery, recovery and daily vomiting becomes a faint memory one day.
