Yeah I dont understand why they think they have a right to try to talk us out of it. It is a personal decision and hard to make to begin with. I think envy is usually a reason.

So lucky when you dont have the 2 week pre surgery diet. I only stick to it cause I really want the surgery. Excited to see how we all do. I think if we really stick to the diet after surgery we will get used to it. Also less hunger. WE can help each other too...

Good luck KellarsMom. I am sure you will do great! Looking forward to hearing how you do!

So ready. Counting down the days!!

Love the Premier Protein shakes with 30 g of protein.

Seriously have noticed negativity when I had the band and lost a lot of weight. I felt so good but it was easy for outsiders to make me feel small. Work person was going to suspend me because she thought I had bulimia and I had to get Dr notes so I could come back to work. Didn't tell many people at work that I am getting the sleeve because that same person is against bariatric surgery as her sis had some issues with her surgery, not sure what type. It made me camera shy now, when I was so happy to have the band and be a normal size and feel good. I have only told a few people in my life about the surgery and don't have the same free feeling as when I had the band done. I had to tell her I needed time to get my band damage fixed rather than a new bariatric procedure. I am sure she will think I am bulimic again when I start losing after surgery. Just not her choice or her business but she has managed to mess with my head due to her position at work. I had band removed because it slipped. It is pretty sad what people can do to us instead of being supportive.

Yeah the hunger is difficult and constant with the band out. Just doesn't get any easier. Can't wait for that sleeve. Working out has never been my thing and I have every excuse from no gym on the island where I live to knee pain to no time to tired after long day of work. I do have to go up and down 3 flights of stairs several times during the day so at least that is something.

That's why I refused to have the slipped band removed until the sleeve was approved, might have been a bad choice with regard to my health though. Done now just waiting for my date with the surgeon.

Mine is a 2 week thing but it has some solid foods I think 3 shakes and 1 small meal.

Yeah my first surgery buddy!! Happy. when do you have to start your pre surgery diet?

Has anyone experienced severe pain on the roof of your mouth when you eat or drink that lasts maybe 20 minutes usually. Roof of mouth feels swollen. This really hurts and I don't understand what it could be. Maybe dehydration?

Can anyone share with me their pre surgery diet? I really want to see what I have to look forward to. You can email to me at avalonnotarypublic at yahoo dot com

It is caused by dehydration

Count me in

thank you for this post. Going to be sure to try the antiacid trick

I just want it to be July 14th already.

Moved to July 14th surgery date. Can't wait Had my lap band removed friday the 8th/ Sore but happy. it had slipped

I don't think everyone has to have endo as I never even heard of it.

Why are some of u required to have an endo? Did you have ulcers or something?

I am on Catalina Island but my surgery will be in San Diego CA. What is ENDO?

Is there a reason they won't do the sleeve at the same time? Mine is being done at the same time...curious

My surgery is scheduled for August 3rd. The time cannot go by quickly enough. Would love to have someone to pen pal my way through this with. I think with the lap band I did not have enough support system. Trying to build one up for this surgery.
